How useful is physics in med school? In my country, unlike any other normal country, physics is the most important subject if you want to get accepted, followed by chemistry and biology is the least important. I have always thought it should be the other way around. So any insight on how physics can be more important than biology in med school?

Are you a brainlet? Physics is the most important subject, congratulations on not living in banana republic.

Or even if they do require physics, it's usually the least important of the three subjects that i listed. Look at the entry requirements of any UK university. If you want to study medicine, they require you to be exceptionally good at chemistry and biology. Almost no mention of physics.

In med school, it's not that important.
That being said, there are certain specialities that heavily rely on physics, and you're certain to not even be considered for residency if you didn't study physics in your undergrad.

The only important thing in medicine is being able to memorize as much bullshit as possible, be good at multiple choice and being a good goy cuck staying overnight.

The only important subject in any field is mathematics.

med school is memorizing a bunch of pseudoscience and how to peddle it onto unsuspecting idiots. the good news is that you get to play a mad scientist within somewhat loose boundaries after you complete the ritual initiation.

It depends what area of medicine.
If you are going into anything dealing with cancer treatments (radiation specifically) or imaging, it's important to know electromagnetism, atomic, nuclear and some quantum physics. If you are going to do any kind of computational research, you will have to know computational methods learned in a physics program. You may even need to know some thermodynamics at some point. Thats all I got off the top of my head

Physics is very important you dumdumb. You need at least medium eng-tier physics to properly understand biomechanics, acoustics, ECG, electrical and fluid dynamics in the body. Plenty of drugs work by affecting the physics of blood flow, air flow, permeability etc. that can only be quantified using physics.
