However you seem to have an analytical mind. Have you given any thought as to how you would handle the grueling hours and stress for almost the decade of schooling? What about financial issues? Would you need to work while in medical school?
What is your motivation to become a doctor? If it’s for admiration and kudos you are setting yourself up for failure. If you have a deep and profound need to help people there are many other options that could be rewarding for you.
All that being said, if you are determined to do this I say go for it.

I am not from West. It's quite the opposite, everything. I don't even qualify for the medical entrance exam. I am exactly opposite of what a doctor is supposed to be like. I was left casually wondering whether a person like me can be a doctor or not. "No" is the answer, not just for medicine but for life as well. It's all due to mental illness of my parents.
My dad gave me TBI, my mom psychosis, and both of them together gave me autism.
