Steve Jobs Had a Liver Transplant Two Months Ago

evw writes "The Wall Street Journal reports that Steve Jobs had a liver transplant two months ago (subscription required, alternative coverage is available 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 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."

Canada. Biggest trade partner of canada is u.s. u.s. senators try to push ALL laws they pass in usa to canada. like acta etc.

britain. another country which has u.s. as one of its biggest trade partners, not only that, but also adopts many political lines of u.s. internationally, leave aside a lot of domestic stuff.

BOTH fail in regard to socialized healthcare.

yet france, denmark, scandinavia etc A LOT OF EUROPEAN COUNTRIES manage to pull it off VERY well.

so its not the failure of the system then. maybe its a failure of dickheads who are yelling 'socialism boooo ! it will suck our souls dry'.

there are NO systems on the face of earth that just delivers what is expected by itself. for anything to succeed, YOU NEED TO PROPERLY RUN IT. that includes your water closet and even your butt, leave aside social mechanisms.

The Wall Street Journal articles have problems with lack of attribution and stated lack of verification of this info. If the story true (and I think it probably is), the authors of the articles need to elaborate.

Do you whack off reading Wikipedia policies or something?
