And in XXX century it might flip the difficulty of the disciplines around. As it is right now, physics is dealing with relatively simple systems compared to medicine, which deals with absurdly complex systems.

Since you bring up CPU design, the appropriate comparison would be that medicine is to chemistry what CPU design is to physics, if by "CPU design" we mean reverse-engineering alien technology that operates on the edge of our understanding of physics and way beyond our ability to manipulate the physical world.

Medicine is practical and accepts not understanding the details because it has no other choice. In that regard, it's similar to social studies because the latter can't get into details without fully reverse-engineering a human brain either.
