I have accrued a $600,000 medical debt due to a serious car accident that almost resulted in my early demise. Unfortunately at the time of the accident, I didn't have medical insurance (hence the enormous amount). I am seriously considering filing for chapter 7 bankruptcy because there is no way in hell that I am ever going to be able to pay this off. Presently I am without a job nor do I have any assets to speak of......basically I have jack squat! Can anyone please give me some suggestions as to how to approach this dire situation? It would be greatly appreciated.

This is an obvious case of bankruptcy.
Talk to a bankruptcy lawyer, or do it yourself with help on the web.

If you don't have any significant assets then file bankruptcy. Most bankruptcies in the US are prompted by huge medical bills. It happens to a lot of people.
I'm assuming that there was no insurance available from the accident? Car insurance? Was the accident someone else's fault? If it was, you can sue them for expenses.

If you were in a car accident, speak to an attorney specializing in personal injury. Who was at fault and what kind of car insurance do you have?

I don't know what state you are in but try the welfare department since you have no job they may be able to help. Also ask someone at the hospital about charities that pay the bills of those who can not pay on their own.
