>Medical student debt is threatening to become untenable for young physicians. Medical school graduates in 2006 found they owed about $130,000 on average when their educational bills came due. This figure is daunting even for those earning the estimated mean physician income of $216,000, and it can take years for younger doctors to reach that income level. Many primary care physicians may never reach it, as they earn an average of about 30 percent less than the mean.

Maybe if they weren't so mean they would have more patients and make more money. (sitting in for Dragan again)
