Ok. Now do it 6 days a week. For two years.
Medical school content is not hard. It is most memorizing details more than it is understand concepts. The knowledge you obtain in the first two years will allow you to then conceptualize disease, and do some pretty serious cognitive reasoning.
There is no correlation to your P-Chem class in terms of committment, time, or subject matter.

You say this like it's a crazy schedule. As a biomedical engineer, I wake up at 5:30am and work over 10 hours a day right now. Medical school is a big step up from undergrad, but to be very successful in any field you have to put in this kind of time... It's just a blast of 'real-world' air to those coming straight from undergrad.
