I wonder what kind of medical training students under the rule of the Taliban underwent. I'm thinking that since most medical students at the time would've been male anyway, that they would've had to have dealt with gynecological issues. Or maybe they didn't get training for that, who knows. But my point is that even in relatively 'strict' Muslim countries today, medical students have to and see all sorts of patients for experience purposes. True, it may be easier to excuse themselves out of it, but that would just end up reflecting badly on their experience.
