I am a medical scientist, not a practical physician. I think it's very upfront. I am a doctor. I have long experience with heart disease.

I'm concerned about heart disease. I've raised money to fight heart disease; my dad died of it.

I am a medical scientist, not a practical physician.

I am, in fact, a medical doctor; I am a world expert in mechanical heart technology; and I am an athletically fit man who takes care of his own health through diet and exercise, including frequent five mile runs.

I'm a medical doctor and a biomedical scientist.

I am a doctor, a real doctor.

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

I was a heart surgeon before I came to Congress, and I've worked many holidays on behalf of my patients.
