In my experience (perhaps limited since I only have an undergrad degree), I suspect that people change disciplines, both in academia and careers, much more than you're estimating, even between completely unrelated fields. (Exercise which I don't have time to do right now: Look up lists of faculty at various universities/research companies, and note their credentials.) Also, note that having a PhD more or less completely overshadows whatever you did in undergrad.
How much overlap is there between required courses for biochem and medicine? It's plausible that you could do a double major, depending on that.
One cannot 'major' in two disciplines in the country where I'm going to study.
Have you considered studying in a different country? Based on your other comments it sounds like you might not finically be able to do this, but it also sounds like your country is not a very good place for a prospective scientist.
I was actually admitted at a few universities in the UK and the USA, but I can't afford to attend.
