"doctor" Robert Jarvick. SHAME ON YOU!

I just got done watching a spot about "Dr." Jarvick's endorsement of a heart drug. On ABC morning news

I, like many others assume that since he created an artificial heart, that he he is an MD.

HE IS NOT!! Matter of fact, he is no more a medical doctor than I am. [Religious doctorate via the Universal Life Church, thank you very much.] I have several coupons to prove it, so don't yell at me.

Having a Ph.D. or two is nice. My dad has two, and he actually went to school to become an ordained minister, and then went on to get a Ph.D. in Sociology.

But playing to the masses for a "heart drug", {that is also UNGODLY EXPENSIVE COMPARED TO GENERICS}, making people think that you ARE A [I CAN MEDICALLY HELP YOU] doctor, when you are a Ph.D, [I can help you theoretically appraise the outcome of the philosophy of your situation]

I have not done this in a while, but.

I CALL A BULLSHIT. AND I CALL IT ON THIS GUY!!!

And I praise ABC News for taking the effort to drop "dr" Jarvick a few notches.

Last Note: As I was watching the interview on Good Morning America, I could not help but to think, "jarvick reminds me of Raul Duke... [Hunter S Thompson], or Uncle Duke for those that know Doonesbury ", because he was such a squirrelly SOB during the interview. And SO FULL of shit.

Right now I am too pissed to finish what I want to say. But.....

Blessed Be, I need my 'beauty sleep'

Jarvick does have his M.D. Got it from university of Utah in 1976. However he did not complete his intermship or residency for practicing medicine therefore has never been licensed to practiced medicine.

And in this matter, HE IS STILL NOT A MEDICAL DOCTOR! It is just like the people on General Hospital, he just plays one on tv.
