Dentistry or Medicine?

I've applied for IPTA recently, putting Dentistry as my first choice and Medicine as my second choice.  However, I heard from an SUPP counsellor, saying that I have a higher chance of getting Medicine because there are more seats offered for Medicine course.  

The best ending I could have is to get a Dentistry offer letter from any local universities.  However, if it turns out as what the counsellor has predicted, I won't be upset, but I won't be too happy either.  Thinking of the future of a doctor alone is driving me crazy.  The formula generated in my nightmare :
Being a doctor = Working for 36 hours (on-call) = No hibernation for a bear = Self-torture = No life

So, if an IPTA offer letter for Medicine course is mailed to me, should I :
(A) reject it and opt for Dentistry course in private universities?        OR
(B) accept it joyfully and be a good doctor in the future?


No wrong decisions shall be made now..... :
