Would I be a good candidate for medical school?

I'm currently in engineering right now for my undergrad, i've got an associates in science also. My GPA right now is a about 3.7 in Electrical Engineering, my grandfather and friends are living through alot of pain and suffering with COPD and crohn's disease. It really hurts me and I wish nobody has to have such a disease, it makes me want to help fight this disease. I never really considered medical school untill my mother got me a job collecting data for a GI doctor. I was increasingly interested in all the medical terms and unrelated medical questions that i could ask the doctor. I was just doing the job for the money but I became interested in the science of infectious disease. I'm not going to lie, the money and social status is extremely attractive, but I also find the material very interesting and there is something inside of me that wants to help those who are suffering with such diseases as COPD which my grandfather is suffering through. I'm 22 years old right now i will be 24 by the time i graduate. Medical school in my country is very difficult to get into (canada), I am not good at short-term memorization, I am more of a logical thinker as I was educated in thinking as a computer engineer, I tend to use math and logic, not so much memorization. However that being said I am great at memorizing hockey stats (things of my interest) I know every hockey player in the NHL since the year 1995, their height/weight/age, teams played for, city of birth, appearance, style of play. I don't even realize that I was memorizing all those hockey facts, I also think i have a good long-term memory as I remember alot of things that others don't seem to recall in my childhood. My short term memory is about average, but I have developed a tremendous work ethic from my engineering degree so far. Do you think I could survive medical school based on what i've described? Thanks all feedback is welcome.
