“In early 2009, the tech and investing worlds were trying to untangle a puzzle about Apple. The company was putting out incredible devices, but it was unclear why the legendary leader wasn’t there,” Doron Levin reports for Fortune.
“Jobs had surgery for pancreatic cancer in 2004, taking a leave of absence to recover. He had returned, only to disappear a few years later, a second medical absence for roughly six months in 2009. How sick was he? And what did he have? It wasn’t until June 20th, two months after the fact, that the Wall Street Journal uncovered the fact that Jobs had undergone a secret liver transplant at Methodist University Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee,” Levin reports. “However, during that absence, Fortune can report, Jobs also took an unpublicized flight to Switzerland to undergo an unusual radiological treatment at the University of Basel for neuroendocrine cancer, according to Jerry York, the Apple director who died in March 2010.”
MacDailyNews Take: Jobs didn’t “disappear” in 2009 He told the world he was taking a medical leave of absence and then he took it.
Levin reports, “York told me about the treatment, which was not available in the U.S., in the context of our discussions about Jobs, his health and Apple’s future. Under our agreement at the time, York wanted the facts of Jobs’s treatment in Switzerland to remain out of the news. He didn’t say whether the board knew of it. (With York’s death, the off-the-record agreement is no longer in place.) …While York told me he didn’t know exactly why Jobs and his doctors had sought medical care in Switzerland, it is the home for the world-renowned University Hospital of Basel, which has developed a special form of hormone-delivered radiotherapy to treat neuroendocrine cancer. The treatment isn’t available in the U.S. “

The liberals did not lower the deficit garth. It was the Republican controlled congress you moron.
ahhh it is one guy making all the commie posts under different names
just a thought, would you call someone you had met in person and had a difference of view with a moron, I dearly hope not.
Why wouldn’t you call a commie a commie? Are you commies that dangerous? Oh wait you are. Look at all the violent attacks going on. Committed by liberals. 2012 can’t come soon enough to vote you crooks out.
The government controlled liberal-commie media and gov comrades all get together and put out the exact same crazy talking points all the time. You sheeple follow right along blindly. Time for some real change starting with today’s vote on repealing healthscare by maobama and friends.
@Nickster, “Common Sense”, et al.
Do you guys know the fastest growing economy among the Western nations right now? I’ll give you a clue: it’s Germany with its mandatory health insurance system (since the 1920s). Healthy people are more productive. Healthy people retire later. Healthy people are less likely to be unemployed. Oh, and not having to sell your house when your kid needs medical treatment is real “common sense”.
hagar pants,
Bull Sh*t,
Healthscam is only being done to gain more control over the population and redistribute wealth. It is a flat out lie that people can’t get health care without this fraud that the democrats jammed down our throats. Hitler was a socialist who pushed for state run healthcare and take over of businesses like Obama has. Europe is drowning in unsustainable debt. Maobama’s buddies Cloward and Piven want to overwhelm and collapse the system so they can do whatever they want after that. Google it genius.
Hence Steve Jobs leaving the US to get the best health care for him.
One more thing:
Hawaii governor can’t find Obama birth certificate

I would argue this point some more but clearly you are not the full ticket, would you at least stick just to the one name rather than pretend to be a million other people?.
Odd how you trolling hasn’t seen you banned, are you really Steve Jack?, sounds like his kind of madness.
Gareth,
Please crawl back into your socialist hole and quit while you’re behind. Conservatives don’t fall for your drivel.
Interesting how all the socialists want to have the conservative’s posts removed………
Polidicks, as usual.
Way to put your head in the sand Curtis.
