Mod 80, Why would that be “unfortunate?” It allowed you to go to medical school and add one more frum doctor to the community.
Can I presume correctly that while in yeshiva, this was the explanation you gave to your rav?
If I wanted to go to medical school, I would tell my rav why I wanted to go. I wouldn’t make up stupid reasons.
I’m also not sure I would ask a rav. Unless I had some shaila about it. Whether or not to go, in a vacuum, seems like it would just be my personal preference and career ambitions.
