You may be able to get away without biology to be accepted to a medical school..depends on the school, but one fact remains. You cannot escape forever. You'll have to pick it back up in med school, probably as an extra subject that may slightly slow your progress in your course. There will be many biologically related concepts you'll come across that relies upon some understanding of biology basics. These things usually will be assumed knowledge. You can of course catch up, but initially you'll have to get used to the whole language and concept they use.
If you've already picked your subject and stuck don't panic. Make sure you get very good marks in everything else, and you can always read up yourself. Get someone to recommend you a good solid entry uni level biology text book and do some self study. The best thing about biology is that unlike chem and physics, you can pick it up yourself just by reading most of it. If you're a bright student or commited to your studies you should have no problems.

Most medical schools in the US require at least one year of biology in undergrad education. It's also on the MCAT test. I would take anatomy and physiology plus either cell biology or genetics.

At least three years of biology to most schools.

oh yeah. you can get around it with biochemistry, but on the MCAT there is a bio section.
