Doctors declaring bankruptcy to get out of medical school debt sounds like anecdata. If student loans were dischargeable, that would change nothing for MDs because they're still going to make enough money to service the debt after residency/fellowship.

Even if you're going to be making $200,000 a year after your residency, why not declare bankruptcy as soon as you graduate. It'll save you $200,000 which is totally worth a 10 year hit to your credit
