[Rich, Joel]

Here's the lightly edited response I got from R' HS's talmid on the
above

It wasn't his father it was his mother who didn't want him to be a
doctor.
This topic kvar dashu bey rabim as the ramban bferush says not to go
doctors.  It's a machlokes haposkim but most say that nowadays it's not
shayach,  but yes the gra got upset at his brother when he found out
that he went to a doctor.
