It's not a sacrifice I'm prepared to make at the moment.

There is a little more about my sister's friend. When she got out of Univeristy she could not get into med school in the states (I am not clear on the reasons why). Her mother or father was a Polish citizen and she got into a med school in Poland and trained...I think...for a year. She was then accepted into med school in the states...but I think her year of training in Poland did not count.
