I've been having trouble finding what happened to Jack Kevorkian from the end of his medical school residency and painting around the 1960s until his first assisted suicide in 1990. I've heard that he tried producing a film and opening an unsuccessful medical clinic, but I need more information on these incidents from reputable sources if they're true. Anyone know what he was up to in those 30 years?
