Can I do medicine with bad GCSE's, I'm told I can't.

I just got my GCSE results, I achieved 2 A's 6B's and 3C's. I believe I didn't try to even a fraction of my potential and didn't revise at all. I am determined to achieve high grades at A level. Is there anyway to apply for medicine if I get really good ALevels but have bad GCSE's.
