Is it normal that i only care about one thing?

I want to be a doctor. That is literally all I care about. I don't like people, I'm not very close with my family, I'm not enthusiastic about boys or friends, and I don't have any hobbies that I hold such a passion for. All I want is to pursue my goal of treating people in the ER. Am i setting myself up for failure or am i setting myself up for success? Is this normal?

    The worst doctors in the world are the ones that don't care about their patients. With this attitude you may never truly help anyone.

    What makes you want to be a doctor? You will only be a success if your a good doctor, and good doctors care about people.

    i thought people became doctors because they care for people. its good that you have goals and aspirations but i hope you at least care enough to do a good job and not leave any surgical tools in the patients body. maybe you should study to become a Pathologist so you dont have to work on living people.

    Is it that you wanna be successful or a doctor? Do you enjoy the medical field? Helping people, maybe looking for cures or such. Do you want other things in your life like love and kids? Do you hang out with other people and just find no enjoyment in that or have you not hung out with other peple before
    and instead just focused on working towards being a doctor? maybe these are some questions you should ask yourself I think its good your determined to be a
    doctor its hard to do and your need
    that determination To outshine your fellow interns. I think you
    have a passion for it to be a great
    doctor. if your happy who care if its normal your gonna be a rich successful doctor one day, who gives a shit what other people think!!

    Don't listen about only if you care about people can you be a good doctor...good doctors are able to make quick decisons knowing procedures and meds to keep that body working and if your going to be a surgeon...well how to put all back together again. Question you need to ask your self is life worth saving and if you need a pat on the back or someone to show you appreciation for what you do or praise you need to find another direction in life most doctors are in it for $$$$$$$$$$$$$ and accomplishment of self satisfaction.
