I've dug myself into a fairly deep hole by procrastinating horrifically on my applications. I will need to apply next year. http://dkmg2azsloi0e.cloudfront.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

How big of a setback is this?

One year of your life. Is there something else you're worried about?

My MCAT score is meh, but I've been advised not to retake.

What is meh about a 37?

One possibly troublesome thing is that my coursework is pretty much all considered science/math, so I'm not well-rounded that way.

Nobody cares.

One big troublesome thing is that I have rather little hospital or true service (outside of tutoring) activities.

We talked about that in your last thread. Go volunteer at a local hospital 5 hours a week in your year off.

Where else should I apply to cover my gap year? I don't know what workplace would allow me to apply to MD/PhD programs and work at the same time.

Try to find a lab anywhere that will take you as a poorly paid assistant for a year. Hopefully there's one at your undergrad or the area that will do this for you. Send out e-mails to profs looking for a position. Talk to your advisors in your major and see if they might know of any positions.
