My wife works for a doctor that had $250k of student debt cancelled.

That requires 10 years of work for a hospital or clinic that qualifies for public service loan forgiveness. That can be a non-profit hospital that pays well or it can be working for the VA or an Indian Health Services facility, which do not.

Because the doctor was just that awesome? Or you leaving something out?

Like-he worked in a rural or underserved area for so many years.
Or the hospital/practice paid his debt because they wanted to hire him and he is in a niche specialty?
Or he was part of government service (like military).
Or he spent summers doing cleft palate repair for those that could not pay?
