Used Book in Good Condition
Regarding medicine: That's going to be a few years down the road. A lot of what you will learn now and in college will have ties in medicine (and said ties are often discussed), but the material they teach in medical school itself requires breadth and depth that takes a while to learn. Still, reading up on random wiki articles and journal papers from time to time keeps things interesting, and it's still a great way to learn. I did that all throughout my undergraduate years. You definitely will not know everything in said articles, but they're still fun to read and you'll know more than if you didn't read them at all.
For online resources, Khan Academy has the best online resources I know of, but I wouldn't rely on them too much. Personally, I'd recommend a self-study course using textbooks/e-books myself.
If you go this route, feel free to buy used books. General biology has not changed much in the past ten years that you need to buy the latest editions of any textbook (and seriously, when comparing $15 to $200, not worth it.)
Books I went through my undergraduate year (Note: I am a molecular and cellular biology major):
These should get you started and keep you busy for a while :) Other than that, Google is your best friend. Search up any words or concepts you don't know. Between Google, university wikis, subreddits like r/biology, YouTube, and increased university presence on the internet, there are a ton of resources out there for you.
