either one is a noble profession. It depends on your specific talents, interests, and calling in life.
The noblest profession for any of us is the one that we are "called" to do. And I believe that is the one God leads you to after prayer.
Also, don't necessarily limit your options to just these 2. God may have something else in mind for you.
My dad is a used car dealer. He may not be saving lives, but I know beyond a doubt that he is right where God wants him to be. People marvel over the fact that my dad, a used car dealer, is an honest man with lots of integrity! People really find comfort in coming to his lot, because my mom works there too and she talks to them and genuinely cares for the customers and their concerns, whatever they feel like sharing.
My mom and dad help so many people in so many ways.
But had this not been where God wanted them, they probably wouldn't be doing anyone any good at all. It is better to do your own duty poorly than to do someone else's well. Let God show you your duty in this life.
God bless you!

A thousand years ago you wouldn't have had to choose, for the Priest would have been the Doctor, and vice versa. Actually, you don't need to choose today either - you could be both - learn medicine, heal those who need healing, body and spirit!

A doctor saves lives. A priest if he is a good one saves souls.

I think you should be a priest. I have come to the conclusion that not all Drs. are even healers let alone life savers.

Does a priest serve any function in society? They are rather useless people in the long run, unless of course, they save someone by donating organs when they die. I don't think you could get into medical school if you haven't the intelligence to make the decision yourself, or at least spell simple words correctly. Perhaps you should work in construction.
