Can I do Medicine if i hate biology?

However, learning human biology, I know that I want to do medicine and I love the exam questions for these because it's really knowledge based rather than application style.

You're about as screwed as the chap the 75 year old gentleman I had on the ward who was admitted with a dull pain in the groin thought to be an incarcerated inguinal hernia. The ABG showed a lactate of 5 on admission, indicating some degree of ischemia which fit the picture. There was no obvious mass on examination and bowel sounds were present, but there was a large, pulsatile mass felt in the abdomen. An urgent CT scan was requested which found a ruptured anterior abdominal aortic aneurysm. Thank **** he'd been G+S'd as his Hb came back as 84 and he was becoming progressively more tachypnoeic and tachycardic. We stabilized him best we could and sent him on his way to the big boy hospital.

Long story short, you're screwed.

Medicine is as applied as it gets (and the clinical exams absolutely reflect that).

Im taking chem/bio/maths and i really want to be a doctor.

But thinking about it i really don't particularly enjoy biology but i love chemistry and maths.

i particularly don't like it because it's just 100% memorisation and it's like another language!

I'm not sure if it's just because i'm not particularly understanding it just yet or if it's because of my apathy towards it (don't want to self-diagnose but i'm pretty sure i've been depressed for quite some time now and i'm just so apathetic about everything).

being a doctor is really ideal to me but it's just the studying/education to become a doctor that i may struggle with if i dont like biology.

I was thinking medical/pharmaceutical research or biomedical engineering or something but i really want to become a surgeon in the future.

So confused???
