Earlier reports from The Wall Street Journal were confirmed this week: Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) chief executive Steve Jobs had a liver transplant two months ago at a Tennessee hospital.
"He received a liver transplant because he was the patient with the highest MELD score (Model for End-Stage Liver Disease) of his blood type and, therefore, the sickest patient on the waiting list at the time a donor organ became available. Mr. Jobs is now recovering well and has an excellent prognosis," Dr. James D. Eason of Methodist University Hospital Transplant Institute said in a statement.
Someone should pay for hiding material information like this. But it's not obvious that anyone will -- except perhaps for those who bought shares without understanding Jobs' health status.
