If you have medical expenses over 7.5% of your AGI, that only means that the portion of your medical expenses over 7.5% of the AGI may be used as itemized deductions.
That amount plus the other categories of itemized deductions (state and local taxes, property tax, mortgage interest, charitable contributions, etc.) must still be greater than your standard deduction for it to be better for you to itemize.
