PhD doctor, or medical doctor by training, just not with a currently active license?

Jarvik is married to Parade magazine columnist Marilyn vos Savant.[2]

This may be his most impressive credentials. Marilyn vos Savant is generally considered to be one of the smartest folks in the USA as I recall.

Thanks for the links. So Dr Jarvik is a med school graduated MD, but never did his internship or residency or got licensed. And he has a Master's degree in medical engineering. And is married to one super-smart woman.

Interesting.

That's why he's out making commercials instead of being at home.

"Yes, I know that you're the smartest person in the world, but why do I always have to take out the garbage."

Man, imagine how every argument goes at home. "Well, honey, you're wrong, and I know this because not only am I your wife but I also happen to be the smartest person in the world."

Retort: "Well, you were smart enough to marry me and I was smart enough to make a fortune on that artificial heart deal and the Lipitor deal. So there!"

End of conversation retort: You couldn't even get a license to practice medicine.

Well I read something interesting about Vicks Vaporub. I guess some guy was using it for jock-itch because of it's reputed anti-fungal qualities. He got some on his p*nis and he said it was poor man's Viagra. Look it up! It's true!

Hmmm. Bet he's one lonely dude. What woman in her right mind would want to come near him??

I can only imagine the bedside conversation:
"Don't worry, honey. That Vicks took care of the FUNGUS...and I don't think you have to worry about catching a cold either. Oh, by the way, I happen to think that the SMELL of VapoRub is a real turn on, too!"

right.
