There is a clear matter that I am not a practicing physician I have never been a practitioner everybody has known for decades.

As a medical doctor who chose a career in artificial heart technology rather than clinical practice, I decided not to take an internship, which is required for licensing. Instead, I work with invention, manufacturing, regulatory affairs, and clinical application of artificial hearts.

Lipitor is one of the most researched medicines. I'm glad I take Lipitor, as a doctor, and a dad.

I do not practice clinical medicine and hence do not treat individual patients. My career is in medical science.

The artificial heart is very effective as a bridge to transplant, but the number of people that can be saved with human hearts is limited. A perfect artificial heart could save many more patients.

Leaders are visionaries with a poorly developed sense of fear and no concept of the odds against them.
