Expect Many Disgruntled Reporters

It seems Steve Jobs (CEO of Apple in case you didn't know) has pulled a fast one on every tech and financial reporter in the country.

He had a liver transplant 2 months ago and only tonight the WSJ has the breaking story.

I don't know how he did it, but he managed the entire thing in complete secrecy. I wonder if the hospital staff got iPhones or something for not mentioning his name...

Congratulations Steve! For not only pulling a fast one on every reporter out to drag up the drek (YAY!), but for coming through the surgery and recovering nicely!

Way to go!

1 His body, his business. And you're right, the media will be more than a bit miffed at the secrecy. Cretins.

2 Can you imagine the circus that would have ensued if they had known... good grief it would have been awful. But this just makes me giggle.

3 Nice to see someone, somewhere, taking patient confidentiality seriously. I wish him well and wish we'd bought an Apple instead of this constantly malfunctioning Dell.

5 A friend just came home last night from a liver transplant. He had been in the hospital a week. Of course, not being the head of Apple and just a regular working guy, nobody was trying to keep track of his whereabouts.
It is increasingly astonishing to me what the medical profession is able to do for people. Remember, this is the healthcare system that is broken and the President, his administration and the Democrat Party wants to fix.
