While the Doctor does have the 555K in debt, the payment information you gave only refers to 200K of it. (I was really confused, since I pay $1500 monthly on 90K in student loans . . . though mine are all at ridiculously low interest rates.)
Well, turns out the doctor went to to American Univ. of Caribbean med school. So she couldn’t get into a half-decent medical school in the first place.
Why’s she even in medicine? And do people who go to JHU med school, or any half-decent med school that’s actually in the United States, face he same ridiculous situation? I think not.
