His legacy would have been much greater had he not sold his soul for the almighty dollar and Pfizer.... He and his wife Marilyn vos Savant probably already had plenty to start with...

"Jarvik received his M.D. in 1976 from the University of Utah. He did not complete an internship or residency and has never been licensed to practice medicine".

“He and his wife Marilyn vos Savant”

I didn’t know he was married to her. He is one lucky man.

Jarvick is the dude who created at pump. Sure, a highly specialized pump, but a pump nonetheless, just like a mechanical engineer would create.

Why would anyone consider him an expert on the medicinal use of pharmaceutics Oh, yeah, the same folks who need the disclaimer I saw earlier this evening where a guy jumped off a skyscraper and there had to be some subtext say, "do not attempt this." We are devolving media to address the lowest comment denominator.

Most drug ads feature non-physician actors. Will all of those ads be pulled, also?

I’m not a doctor, but I’ve played one on TV.

I wish they would pull all the drug ads. I am so sick of them. At least they could try and change them more often. But my gosh they tell a person to buy a drug then spend 90% of the commercial telling you how you will die from it or go blind or whatever. LOL

The cholesterol theory of heart disease has been almost completely discredited.

I think the ad should be pulled because of his stupid looking mullet and because of the way he runs like a girl in his dated jogging suit.

But that’s just my opinion.
