Answer 1

What is your question?

If it's how to get into medical school, you need some form of an undergraduate degree and then you apply to medical school.  It sounds like you are in either the UK or somewhere that used to be?  Basically that's the route everywhere.  You can't just go to med school--you have to get a bachelor's degree first.

If it's what kind of things you can do other than being a doctor, you could be a nurse, a physician's assistant (at least in the US--not sure if they have them where you are), a pharmacist, a lab tech, a medical researcher, an operating room tech, an EMT or paramedic...there are tons of possibilities.

If your question wasn't either of those things, please clarify.  ;-)
