Steve Jobs: A difficult patient
Steve was a very hard patient to deal with as a doctor. He would always go against the doctor to him it was either his way or the highway. With his new biography "Steve Jobs" it goes behind the scences of how the cancer was spreading in his body from his pancreas to his liver. It eventually went to other bones in the body. One of the biggest suprises to people was that while he was going against the most state of the art medicial care he always went against docters orders. When his pancreatic tumor was descovered in 2003 the doctor said that he was lucky that they found it early do it can be removed before it spreads. The first thing Jobs said was "I really didn't want them to cut my body open". So he looked into some other ways and that helped him for a couple years and then everything started to go down hill little by little. Then he realized that the tumor had spread and there was no cure. In 2005 at the Stanford Commencement speech he told the public that he had surgery and will be fine when he really wasn't. At a CEO meeting on Augest 24 Jobs said he was resigning he said the cancer had moved to his bones and other body parts.
