American Doctors are fond of telling patients with high blood pressure/high cholesterol to limit their intake of such items. With all we know about the Mediteranean diet, I was wondering what docs in Southern Europe and other areas in that region, feel about this i.e. North African and the Middle Eastern experts please reply to.

Well, I'm not from the med, but in my experience European doctors tell patients with high blood pressure or cholesterol to limit their intake of eggs and cheese too. Recently there's been an advertising push over here that "an egg a day is okay", but apart from that, I'd imagine advice is similar enough on both sides of the pond.
