I find myself wishing you were getting some type of further medical training along with that English degree. You certainly seem astute and interesed enough in the field that you would make a fine RN, nurse-practioner, PA, physician, PT or other allied health professional. My guess is when you leave medical work, you're going to miss it more than you realize.
