Steve Jobs Receives Liver Transplant

0 views

Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs received a liver transplant about two months ago and is expected to return to the company by the end of June.

Jobs underwent the liver transplant operation at a hospital in Tennessee, according to the Wall Street Journal. He has been on medical leave from Apple since January and when he returns to the company he may initially work part-time.

"The remedy for this nutritional problem is relatively simple and straightforward, and I've already begun treatment," he said. "But, just like I didn't lose this much weight and body mass in a week or a month, my doctors expect it will take me until late this spring to regain it."

Close to 10 days later, he announced his health issues were "more complex than I originally thought" and he was taking medical leave, putting Cook in charge of operations.

Apple has previously received criticism from some shareholders over what they have called limited disclosure of Job's health problems.
