SOLVED. Book I read as a child and now can not remember. [s]

Maybe The Transall Saga by Gary Paulsen? I don't remember the MC becoming a doctor, but the other details fit.

Crystal, please provide plot details (no spoilers) and the genre of the book you’re looking for in the Topic header, not something vague like "Help! can't remember this book". Someone is more likely to recognize your book.

Crystal ~~ AND anyone else who reads this ~~
Please do not delete your original post. It leaves people hanging on, not knowing the description of the book. Some people have found their books because it is the same book being described.
Thank you!
