Medicine is basically Biology, so medicine without biology would be like physics without math, swimming without water or an omelet without eggs! Technically speaking though, biology is essentially the name of the science that studies how living organisms function, whereas medicine is the science or art, involved with repairing sick or damaged biological systems and organisms. It would be hard to practice medicine without a knowledge of biology.

Of course, there are alternative forms of medicine such as chiropractic, herbology and message therapy. However, even these practices are enhanced by a knowledge of biology and most such practitioners do have a fair knowledge of biology. Even faith healing is enhanced by a knowledge of biology.
