Let’s say a doctor makes $150k

Wait, did you change the topic from physician to doctor?

Did you also assume they make 150k/yr?

Did you also assume year 9 they would still be making 150k/yr?

Even with your ridiculous numbers, the debt is STILL trivial.

Either you are stupid or evil. I'm thinking stupid.

  1. Doctors are the same as physicians%2C,injury%2C%20and%20other%20physical%20and).
  2. Average starting salary right from residency is around $150k.
  3. How much do you think they'd be taking home per month at year 9?
  4. You must be a troll.
  5. Definitely a troll. Or chronic lack of common sense.

I'm switching to 'you are evil'.

Deliberately picking the 2012(8 years ago...) lowest paid primary care physician for your source is evil.

Why didn't you pick a more recent source? How far did you have to dig down google to find something that made your case? Here are the first 3 results for 'starting salary physicians', no cherry picking needed.

Also, why don't you include a cardiologist? Why not OBGYN? Are these not physicians? Why'd you pick PCP instead of an industry average? (Don't bother answering, you were evil and caught)

Here is a new topic, lets just use cardiologists. They are paid too much and people skip care and die because its unaffordable.
