A little part of me died inside when I saw this thread title...
Seriously, though, I love orgo. Out of all of the science classes I've taken, orgo was one of my favorites (along with some of the more medically-relevant bio classes such as physiology and anatomy). I think it's better than physics or gen chem, and way easier than p-chem.
Plus, think about when you're a doctor writing prescriptions for your patients- so much of the way the drugs work in the body can be understood from organic chemistry. I think it's really interesting learning about how small drug molecules can help cure diseases through reactions that occur in your body. My orgo professor wrote themed exams in which the exam was based off a current literature from a medically-relevant topic. For example, one exam was about HIV reverse-transcriptase inhibitors, another exam was about nicotine and carcinogens, another exam was about the molecular basis of aging, and another exam was about anti-cancer proteasome inhibitors. All of these exams showed how organic chemistry affects these medical issures, which I thought was really cool.
Sure, I thought orgo was hard and it can be boring going through the basics, but once you have that knowledge base, you will be able to learn about much more interesting topics relevant to medicine.
