well, its like this. if he is having trouble his old buddy he started th company with will be back in apple kicking serious ass and making everybody rich again.
this is so weird. he was worth 100 million at age 25, and said it wasn’t that important. i hope he is all right, cuz i want to buy the stock maybe, but this is the only thing in question along w/ how the perceived illness hurts the stock.
tim cook is not as marketable.

I’ve always been fascinated about the different ways people have created to achieve one goal, the goal of weight loss. For me, it all starts with the food you eat. I filled out this survey to help out in weight loss program research — about the dieting and nutrition habits of people. For the love of weight loss, check this survey out! http://bit.ly/4TttX.

Transplant situation is very bad with extremely long lines. Worse still the supply has been linked to criminal activity.

It is very difficult for any person to have a liver transplant. Despite the fact that the five-year survival rate for all liver transplants is around 75 percent it is very risky business.

This brings back some painful and scary times for a very close friend of mine. He too was on a waiting list and waiting for his donor. Around 9 months and health dropping, he was diagnosed with liver cancer now. He was then moved to the front of the line. 2 weeks later he was receiving his donor liver. Now he is Living and Loving life to the fullest. Thank you God!

There are three possible reasons why Steve Jobs could have needed a liver transplant.

1) The tumor spread to and was growing in his liver or in a way that damaged is liver by obstructing blood and bile flow to and from the liver. It was micro-metastatic disease not detected at the time of his pancreatic surgery.

2) Not suggested by the media, that his liver’s blood vessels and biliary tract were injured by the original operation (scar formation, etc…) that resulted in liver damage over time that wasn’t detected until the weight loss was worked up.

3) Something true, true and unrelated (like hepatitis C, or autoimmune hepatitis, or hepatocellular carcinoma) that is an indication for transplant.

The reason why the Transplant wait differs from region to region is due to two factors, a) supply and b) demand. Some organs don’t last as long outside the body, and therefore can’t travel great distances. There are A LOT of medical centers that transplant on the coasts, and they are rather near each other (Boston, NYC, Philadelphia, and Baltimore have multiple hospitals), there are a handful in the mid-south.
