I have not yet returned to work following the accident. However, I worked in a medical school (as a medical illustrator/graphic and web designer) before I went to graduate school and subsequently became a professor. I may be able to answer some of your med school questions (and I later married to a med student/resident/ER doc [now ex]).
I am currently working on a doctorate in another field, however, I have yet been able to complete one page of reading, as it is too much information for me to process. I am taking a break for the time being.
