Healthcare career path

I am sick of hearing medical horror stories where patients do no get proper pain management for medical procedures (especially women's care), doctors/nurses invalidating patients' symptoms, and the focus on short term stability/prescribing symptom-managing meds for chronic conditions without investigating why someone is having symptoms to being with. I know not all medical professionals are egotistical and uncaring, and for many of them their first priority is helping a patient feel better. But the prevalence of the former is infuriating. I don't think medical school is for me, but are there other healthcare jobs where I could make a difference in this aspect? Where I could challenge/advocate against routine inhumane medical practices, or ones that simply could be improved upon. I am in my 20s and currently don't work in healthcare.
