I don't blame him for wanting to go back to work, I like to have something to keep my brain active, and when something stops me from doing it, such as illness, it's frustrating. No doubt Steve Jobs feels the same way, he thrives on the challenge of achieving things and being parked out of the way is no fun.

Is anyone at Apple capable of telling the truth?

"He received a liver transplant because he was the patient with the highest MELD score (Model for End-Stage Liver Disease) of his blood type and, therefore, the sickest patient on the waiting list at the time a donor organ became available."

or was it just the highest cash source at the time?

so... just to clear this up... he's been delivered?

and then re-livered?

Someone very close to me suffers from a congenital liver disease. Others with more advanced forms of it in her support group regularly receive transplants. A now retired friend from where I work had one about 7 years ago and is doing well. But living with someone else's liver in you is a large risk, as is any kind of liver disease or transplant. This isn't the kind of thing anyone has done unless they expect to die fairly soon otherwise.

I don't use Steve's products but wish him a long, healthy and happy life regardless.

... what would you do in similar circumstances?

What do we think the odds are that somebody /so/ rich is the absolute sickest person in his blood type?

It's all good fun being cynical and casting aspersions on high profile folk, but the bloke could have died. In fact, he would have done without the medical attention he received. So, all the effing sickos who are so anti-Apple that they'll use ANY lever to denounce the evil corporation, cut the chap some slack and just remember that you're only picking on a sick old man. In my book (not that you'll care), that makes you lower than shit!

Quite high if he's too busy to notice until after he loses a load of weight, takes a while off, has a doctor look and OHSH.

Not an apple fanboi at all here but I do wish anyone who is quick a speedy recovery.

......its "all for the good of the country"
