Hi, I've worked over the past 7 years before finally getting accepted to med school.
But over the past 7 years, I've been burnt out beyond belief between working many 16 hour days as well as simultaneously studying for the mcat. I'm happy that I finally got in, but I have accumulated many physical health problems with chronic fatigue, acid reflux (that is very diagnosed severe gerd now), severe migraines, chronic pains everywhere, and a whole lot of other health problems from working myself to the death.
So for the first time in my life, I want to take a vacation as I've read and been told that this is my only chance to recover. Once med school starts, it'll be hell again. But I do have some savings so that's something.
I'm confused on getting healthcare without am employer. Navigating the insurance plans is confusing and I'm not even sure where to begin with this. I want to pay at most $100/month for individual healthcare. Is that possible?
Are there anything else I ought to watch out for when quitting a job to recover before med school?
Thanks
