You go to school, like everybody else. Go to where you can afford to go and go for as long as you can. Take a couple of years off and work two or three jobs and go again.
It might take you three years longer or so, but you’ll become that doctor without the significant debt that most have.

Go on line and look for ways to jump start the undergrad credits with AP tests, CLEP, alternative credits, etc. You can get an A.A. from Thomas Edison or Charter Oak (legitimate credit aggregation schools) and then transfer for the last two years to a place that can get you into med school. If you can take a year off, save money and try to get emancipation from your parents. Even move to a state with good in-state tuition once you qualify. There are ways to make it easier.
Money given to panhandlers is not earned, so it can’t legally be taxed and can’t show up as income to hurt student loan chances.
I have a friend who worked his way through medical school with a cue stick.
