WSJ: Steve Jobs Had Liver Transplant

[steven johnson]

Pancreatic cancer is one of the worst. Good luck, Steve.

Steve Jobs, who has been on medical leave from Apple Inc. since January to treat an undisclosed medical condition, received a liver transplant in Tennessee about two months ago. The chief executive has been recovering well and is expected to return to work on schedule later this month, though he may work part-time initially.
Mr. Jobs didn't respond to an email requesting comment. "Steve continues to look forward to returning at the end of June, and there's nothing further to say," said Apple spokeswoman Katie Cotton.
When he does return, Mr. Jobs may be encouraged by his physicians to initially "work part-time for a month or two," a person familiar with the thinking at Apple said. That may lead Tim Cook, Apple's chief operating officer, to take "a more encompassing role," this person said. The person added that Mr. Cook may be appointed to Apple's board in the not-too-distant future.

2. Because he is rich with good health care

For everyone else, start counting your blessings now that you will have a good enough plan to even diagnose you with this type of cancer before you die.

4. Being rich doesn't guarantee a tissue match

Sheesh.

5. Ah, he could pay to have his liver cloned and grown in a pig

Cue the x-files music.
