I would call BC/BS and get a rate quote buying insurance on your own. Health insurance may cost you $500 a month if it's just you, or more if you are buying for your family. Figure it out with paper and pencil if the money is "good" with that out of pocket cost. My husband is on a plan that has a $10,000 deductable - we pay for doctor visits and meds out of pocket, but if he landed in the hospital, we pay $10,000 and everything after that is covered 100%. It's unfortunate about the vacation time. It seems every company is taking away benefits we have come to expect. This might be your dream job, and someone else's nightmare. Any pension/401K?

Everybody: There are Primary Care Doctors out there who will diagnose adult ADD and prescribe you stimulants. Generics are cheap.

Folkfaerie: You have ADD, and you are getting to the age it is difficult to run around buzzed up on adrenaline like you used to (I am guessing). ADD people often think faster in more directions than others, and also move faster. I see a mirror of myself. Have you considered public health? There are about five drugs in an STD clinic. You can write them on index cards (Gonorrhea = Rocephin ) Repeat this : Let's get you treated so I can move onto the next patient. I don't like to keep people in the waiting room too long. You don't have to organize care for 5-6 people and put up with the %&* phone calls. GYN/OB Is pretty predictable. Height weight Do you have a headache? Are your feet swollen? Let's measure your tummy. Anything odd gets handled by the NP or MD. It's not boring, because every day patients come in with problems you never imagined in your wildest dreams. Pediatrics: Patients may love you because you take school diffculties are real disabilities. I hope things go well for you. Take your meds. Ahn
