I don't see how any of that contradicts anything I said. I don't think I ever said you don't have to pay back 7 years first before discharge. Also, as I said, if you had a medical condition that required continuous costly treatment with no coverage, did not practice as an MD, as well as if you were incapable of working, or became disabled, I have no doubt you would meet the qualifications of "extreme financial burden" or "poverty".

Tell your "lawyer" friend to take a xanax before he strokes out.
