MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Apple chief Steve Jobs has an “excellent prognosis” after receiving a liver transplant, a doctor confirmed Tuesday.
“He received a liver transplant because he was . . . the sickest patient on the waiting list at the time a donor organ became available,” said Dr. James D. Eason, chief of transplantation at Methodist University Hospital Transplant Institute.
Eason did not reveal when the operation took place or any details about the transplant, citing patient privacy. However, The Wall Street Journal reported it was two months ago.
Apple did not confirm the Journal report and has said only that Jobs is looking forward to returning to Apple — which he started in 1976 — at the end of June. The Associated Press; AP file photo
