Tigger's a doctor

When he was younger, Paul Winchell's ambition was to become a physician. 

Interestingly enough, he was in the hospital when he decided to be a ventriloquist.

He went to college and became an acupuncturist in the 70s. 

The best part of his medical stuff is that he invented an artificial heart, assisting Dr Henry Heimlich, the guy who invented the Heimlich maneuver. 

And as a medical worker, Paul owned over 30 patents over the course of his whole life.
