Do you think it can be lonely in the life of a Medicine Cat?

So I'm writing a story right now from the point view of a Medicine cat and as I thought about it, I realised; being a Medicine Cat can be really lonely.

I mean, in the day to day life of a medicine cat, you don't have much 'long-interaction' with other cats. Once you are done with one cat, you have to quickly move onto the next patient, not leaving much time to just chat. And even you don't have anyone to treat, you're out alone gathering herbs or alone in your den sorting them. Not to mention, if they don't have an apprentice, they'll sleep alone in the Medicine cat's den.

It's even worse for a young Medicine cat apprentice. Imagine this; you're kit in the nursery, your life is great because you're surrounded by your littermates and friends, then when you turn 6 moons, suddenly everything changes.

You're separated from everyone else your age, you have to move into this new strange den, with no one else but your mentor, you have to watch as your fellow apprentices, train and grow up together, while you having to sorting out herbs.
