Hmmm... First off, Afternic is just a reseller so I can't imagine that they could have any claim to own any Web site content. Are you reading that wrong, perhaps, or are you seeing a different agreement from someone else? Also, please note that while there's a ".md" domain that's intended for medical professionals and the health industry, that's not the same as '.med.pro', which I haven't ever heard of and which makes me wonder if you're being sidetracked or mislead by someone?
I use the site MyDomains.com and according to a search on their site, acmedoc.md is available and it'd cost you $99 to register it for the first year: go to mydomain and search for yourself. It'd be a lot cheaper!
In terms of acmedoc.com, as you say, it's owned by someone who has parked it at seeq, a domain reseller. It's now $1788 and you know what I'd advise? I'd forget about it. Some domain sellers simply push the price up and up and up, without heed for the other party because if you don't buy it, it's less than $10/year to hold on the domain until someone else comes along. If you've offered them $1000+ and they haven't accepted it, you'll probably never get them to agree to a price. Sorry to say that, but...
Also, remember you could register both AcmeDocMD.com and AcmeDoc.MD and have them point to the same site, then use the latter on your business cards, etc. Kinda cool to have an unusual domain - people will type it in just to see what happens.
Finally, do read my earlier article on how to buy a domain name for more ideas and information on this topic.
Anyway, I hope that is helpful advice. Please respond with a brief note if you have further questions or thoughts about this, and do let us know how it all goes!

.pro is a real top level domain, intended for use only by professionals. Professionals are defined to be lawyers, accountants or doctors. See http://www.nic.pro/ for details.
I'd have to say spending $1,000 (or more) on a domain name for personal-ish use is a waste of your hard-earned money. I'd suggest brainstorming a new domain name, one that is not already registered.
