Ask yourself what it is about medicine that has you interested in studying it and eventually becoming a doctor.
Before you sign up for classes (assuming you need them), try to get your feet wet by doing some volunteer work in a healthcare setting. It helps to see the average day-to-day activities of doctors and different healthcare providers when making such a big decision.
Your post is kind of vague. What do you want to learn more about? You want to learn about the process of applying to medical school, the process of becoming a doctor, or what are the pro's and con's of the different specialties? It seems to me like you want to learn if it is right for you, and the only person that can answer that is you. That brings me around to the initial question - you say you are interested in studying medicine and being a doctor, then mention you want to make sure it is right for you. It sounds like you already have your mind made up. Just make sure you have realistic expectations, and we could probably give better advice if we knew your specific situation, i.e. have you completed a bachelor's? Did you do well GPA-wise in college, if you have college coursework completed in the past?
A good place to start is reading the threads on here. I'm assuming you posted in the non-traditional section before you are a non-traditional in some respect. Read old threads, search for keywords you're interested in, and maybe elaborate on what specifically you're looking to learn more about.

If you are really interested in medicine then you must search the details related to it on net & you will get loads of info. You will get good basic knowledge about human body before you go to a medical college.
