Would admission officers take into account the difficulty of an engineering degree?
I'd much prefer someone who i knew was capable of getting an engineering degree to look after my health than someone who spent a few hundred hours going over finance lectures and theory.

Hardly, and that's a mistake that a lot of premed students make. While they might to a small extent, admissions committees care more about raising the average matriculant gpa so that their school looks more impressive on paper, than they do about actually getting the best candidates. That's bureaucracy for you.
Take advantage of this and game the system by studying something "easy" to you. A political science major with a 3.9 looks a lot better to adcoms than an engineering major with a 3.5.
Personally, I decided to study physics because I still wanted to challenge myself in undergrad and thought the problem solving aspect would help prepare me for the MCAT/med school. Working out well so far.

Please tell me that it gets better next year

Where are MedFags supposed to go then? We follow the scientific method to reach a conclusive diagnosis and take into account every variable you know to give the patient the best treatment.
Except that when we fuck up someone dies, we get sued or both every single time

It doesn't get better until you're actually seeing patients.
No "scientific method" is used to get a diagnosis, there is no hypothesis or trial and error involved. It is more about gaining information through history, physical findings, and different lab and imaging tests and using that information to reach a diagnosis that reflects the most closely on a patients current status, and then selecting a treatment that is the most likely to result in a better quality of life for the patient. There is more to it, of course, but there is a reasons people call medicine "an art" as the details in medical practice can be very different between physicians. Unlike math or engineering, the human body is a much less predictable system and this can lead to unsuccessful diagnosis or treatment based entirely on statistical chance and not from any fault of the physician.
