Physician comes to country after revolution to see middle-Eastern native (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kurd

'middle-eastern native' is the definition.

'physician comes to country after revolution' is the wordplay.
'physician' becomes 'dr' ('Dr' can be a synonym of 'physician').
'comes to' says to put letters next to each other.
'country' becomes 'uk' (UK is an example**).
'after revolution' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'dr'+'uk'='druk'
'druk' reversed gives 'KURD'.

'to see' is the link.

(Other definitions for kurd that I've seen before include "Member of group living N. Iraq" , "Member of an Islamic group living in Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Armenia and Azerbaijan" , "One from area of Turkey, Iran and Iraq" , "Inhabitant of northern Iraq" , "One of a people from borders of Turkey and Iran" .)
