evw writes "The Wall Street Journal reports that [0]Steve Jobs had a
liver transplant two months ago (subscription required, [1]alternative
coverage is available [2]based on the WSJ's report). He is on track to
return to work at the end of June. 'William Hawkins, a doctor
specializing in pancreatic and gastrointestinal surgery at Washington
University in St. Louis, Mo., said that the type of [3]slow-growing
pancreatic tumor Mr. Jobs had will commonly metastasize in another organ
during a patient's lifetime, and that the organ is usually the liver. ...
Having the procedure done in Tennessee makes sense because its list of
patients waiting for transplants is shorter than in many other states.'
There are no residency requirements for transplants."
