Remember those everpresent commercials for cholesterol fighting drug Lipitor? The star was Robert Jarvik, who claimed to be the inventor of the artificial heart. Turns out Jarvik is not licensed to practice medicine and his credit for the artificial heart's genesis may be grossly overstated.

Wow. It sure seemed like a powerful endorsement at the time!
