Why medicine?

I’ve been researching to solidify my answer for a while now, and I feel like every question can almost come back with “why not PA/NP?”. Aside from other reason, my main reason is that I really want to be a surgeon. I have a couple specialties in mind, but I know I want to lead surgery. Not assist. I don’t even know if that’s a valid enough reason, as far as med school interviews go. Any thoughts? My mind is 95% made up towards MD but I’m willing to be persuaded otherwise if it’s the better... Why medicine?
