Tough break. But you'll get little sympathy from me. (It doesn't sound as though you want, or need any.)
BTW, I had bugger all money a few years ago. My single mum had bugger all money too. You can work to get the money if it is really what you want to do. Besides, there are other schemes, although not quite as similar to the old BA scheme, available today.
Good luck with the medical career.
