Faye, it comes down back to the student. If a student is financially stable, and is as smart as lets say BarakzaiAbdali, and has many grants and scholarships to fund his medical school, then hey -- why not? If you have 10-12 years of your life to spare, after high school for education, then go for it. I would personally recommend a Ph.D considering how relaxed STEM professors are when compared to the hectic schedules most M.D's have to go through. I have some friends who are Physicians and they seem exhausted most of the times. I do however, respect them for what they do.

A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai
For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."
The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!
