Hospital confirms Jobs had a liver transplant →

Jim Goldman reports on the press statement issued by the Methodist University Hospital:

Dr. James D. Eason, program director at Methodist University Hospital Transplant Institute and chief of transplantation “confirmed today, with the patient’s permission, that Steve Jobs received a liver transplant at Methodist University Hospital Transplant Institute in partnership with the University of Tennessee in Memphis,” according to a statement from the hospital.

The part that’s more important to me:

Mr. Jobs is now recovering well and has an excellent prognosis.
