Check with the licensing board, but I would say it is just a disability, and if the person can still work competently, it should not be an issue. I wouldn't have them around scalpels and needles though, just to be safe.

I doubt that it's one of the conditions that can get you disqualified. But regardless of the licensing issues, I suppose regarding your ability to practice medicine at all, it would depend on what kind of medicine you would be doing and how serious your condition is.

If it is under control, sure.
