If you know you want to be a physician, do pre-med undergrad, double-major, or science major with a minor in whatever.

People who did 'something else' before med school didn't make up their mind until it was too late. Although there is a lot to be said about doing something else for a few years between college and med school, it rarely works out. And what's the reason for waiting? So you can go get an engineering graduate degree, or Masters in zoology?

Start college 'pre-med', and switch if you don't like it.

Whatever you choose to do undergrad, make sure you get very good grades - most important factor for med school admissions (that and MCATs). If you go to Brown or Stanford, it will be harder to get good grades than if you go to Oberlin or Auburn or Podunk.
