Doctors report on transplant
success
Apple Messiah Steve Jobs has a few more miles left to do on the
clock after his liver transplant, his doctors have told the press.
Medics
who installed an iLiver in Jobs said he received the liver transplant
because he was the sickest person on the waiting list needing a donor
liver. Dr. James D. Eason, chief of transplantation at Methodist University
Hospital Transplant Institute in Memphis said that Jobs is now
recovering well and has an excellent prognosis.
Despite the fact that
Apple told the world that Jobs had a “hormone imbalance” and it was nothing
for shareholders to worry about, a news release posted on the hospital's Web
site that when Jobs received the transplant said he was in end-stage liver
disease.
It looks like the Memphis Hospital did not bump Jobs to the top of
any list and the bloke really was critically ill at the time. The question
then is why was Apple lying to shareholders when its number one asset
and icon was clearly that unwell.
Eason said the hospital could not
reveal further specifics about the transplant.
