Jiang Ming estimated that there was a high probability that he would meet some of his old friends and famous doctors he had heard of during this consultation.

So you can just treat it as a gathering of old friends. Anyway, this consultation is definitely much more grand than the one five years ago.

Five years ago it was just a consultation of sports medicine experts, but this time both internal medicine and surgery experts will be involved. Whoever can cure the disease will become a lifelong partner of Jobs and Apple.

Not to mention the whole Apple family bucket, it’s no problem for me to make you a set of Apple armor.

However, Jiang Ming was not going to fight a battle without preparation. After packing his luggage, he went to the clinic with Jiang Muyan. He first told Sean about this matter and asked him to go along. At the same time, he also studied Jobs’ condition in the clinic in advance.

Take the necessary herbs and other things.

Only traditional Chinese medicines need to be brought over here. You know, Steve Jobs has all kinds of high-end medical equipment around him.

Sean was very interested in this consultation, mainly because he was now considered a high-tech talent in the clinic. Those at the forefront of high technology all worshipped Jobs as a god. He was very enthusiastic:
“It’s not impossible to put down the work at hand. Since I used the iPhone, I haven’t had any lags.”

“We have a sure win after this consultation!” Completely different from the state five years ago when he was unsure about job hunting, Sean is now full of confidence and no longer looks like a fool.

Afterwards, he quickly collected information for Jiang Ming and the others.

In the fall of 2003, Jobs was first diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

Jobs himself was extremely stubborn, and he initially battled the disease with alternative medicines and a special diet, and kept his condition a secret.

Finally, in the summer of 2004, Jobs had surgery to successfully remove a tumor from his pancreas.

He did not speak publicly for the first time about his battle with cancer until June 2005, when he gave a commencement speech at Stanford University.

Jiang Ming and Jiang Muyan watched this speech at double speed, which was very crucial.

“I was diagnosed with cancer about a year ago.”

“I had a scan at 7:30 a.m., and it showed a tumor in my pancreas,” Jobs told Stanford graduates. “I didn’t even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me pancreatic cancer was an incurable disease and that I would probably not live more than six months.”

“My doctor advised me to go home and make arrangements for my death.”

“It means talking to your kids in a few months about things you might not think about until 10 years from now,” Jobs said. “It means arranging everything to minimize the potential for trouble for your family. It means saying goodbye.”

Perhaps it was his well-known reality distortion field that Jobs’ speech did not accurately describe the length of his illness, and he omitted several months of treatment with alternative medications.

Over the next few years, Jobs seemed to recover well.

But according to what Sean found out, Jobs had been hiding something for the past few years, which was related to Apple’s culture of confidentiality.

On July 2008, 7, Norcia wrote an op-ed in The New York Times about what he called “Apple’s culture of secrecy.”

He first pointed out that Jobs fudged the date of his diagnosis during his Stanford speech and omitted any mention of the nine months he spent on a special diet to fight cancer.

He then pointed out that Apple simply stated that “Steve Jobs’ health issues were his private matter.” He also accused Apple of not being forthcoming with its investors and the public, stating that “Apple cannot be expected to be truthful about its CEO.”

After hearing that Norcia had written an article about his health problems, Jobs decided to give him a call, and the two started to curse at each other.

“You think I’m arrogant, you think I think I’m above the law,” Jobs said. “I think you’re a turd bucket that constantly confuses right and wrong.”

However, Jobs went on to tell Norcia privately about his true health problems.

Norcia later said the health problem was “not just a common illness” but a life-threatening cancer.

Jobs poked fun at the incident on stage during an iPod launch event, with a Mark Twain quote flashing on a screen behind him: “The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.”

Hormone imbalance In January of the following year, Jobs’ health problems once again became the focus of attention.

At that time, he was no longer able to give a speech at the Macworld Expo as he had in previous years.

In a letter dated January 2009, 1, Jobs claimed he had been diagnosed with a “hormone imbalance,” which had caused his drastic weight loss.

In 2009, Jobs did not appear at the WWDC conference, but he returned to Apple as scheduled at the end of June and started working.

In September, Jobs appeared on stage for the first time in nearly a year to introduce a new iPod.

“I want to thank everyone for their genuine support,” he said. “I’m back on my feet, back at Apple, and loving every day of my time here.”

In 2010, Apple launched the first iPad and iPhone 4, setting off a new wave of the era.

Rumors about Jobs’ health have become less frequent, but they have never disappeared.

Jobs’ last public appearance was not at an Apple event, but at a meeting at Cupertino City Hall on June 6.

The meetings discussed issues surrounding Apple’s new headquarters: “I’ve always said that if there ever came a day when I was no longer able to be the CEO of Apple, I would be the first to let you know.”

The latest news is that this morning Jobs wrote in his own letter, “Unfortunately, this day has finally come.” He “strongly recommended” that Apple’s board of directors implement its succession plan and promote Cook to CEO.

The reality is that Cook has been fully transformed.

“I believe Apple’s best and most innovative days are still ahead of it. I look forward to watching and helping it succeed in my new role.”

Jobs said, “At Apple I have made some of the best friends of my life. I am grateful for the years I have worked with you.”

Jobs is said to have worked all day at Apple headquarters today; and on the day of his resignation, he also attended a board meeting.

“This is such a workaholic, writing down all these symptoms and previous illnesses.”

While Jiang Ming was recording key information in his notebook, he also found the most fundamental thing directly, which was why Jobs’ cancer had always been a mystery. This was also very simple.

Just look at the plummeting share price of Apple.

Protecting Apple’s stock price was the reason why Jobs concealed his illness, so other Apple shareholders never urged Jobs to do anything.

Until now, the truth has come to light. Although this global consultation was said to be confidential, the news has already been posted on the forum, because with so many famous doctors going to Apple headquarters together, you can guess what it is for.

“Let’s go and ask on site for details.”

The next afternoon.

Apple headquarters building.

Conference room on the 18th floor.

Jiang Ming subconsciously frowned when he saw the name of this floor. If it were in China, the joint consultation location would never be set in a place with the number 18.

Ever since he came down from Sanqing Mountain, he no longer believes in science.

I have to believe in metaphysics!

So he went straight up to the Apple employees and asked them, “Do you have any other meeting rooms?”
17 or 19 are fine, just not 18.

Unexpectedly, Apple actually listened. Under the shocked gazes of Jiang Muyan and others, the meeting room was really moved to the 7th floor because of Jiang Ming’s words.

I don’t know if it’s because of Jiang Ming or because Jobs and Apple themselves believe this, so they changed?

“We have a lot of face.”

Jiang Ming smiled and went downstairs to the seventh floor.

The three of them first looked at the beautiful scenery of the city in a private lounge, and then were taken to the conference room together.

Many people have come to the conference room, some wearing white coats, others in suits, few like Jiang Ming wearing Anta sports T-shirts and jeans. No, there is one.

A middle-aged bearded man with his jacket unbuttoned and jeans tight came in.

That is House, who has completely thrown away his crutches at this moment.

The House team is here too!
When Jiang Ming saw House’s familiar face, he called out to him:
“Hey, House, come sit with us?”

House smiled at Jiang Ming when he saw him. He seemed to have guessed that Jiang Ming would be invited. Now that he could walk briskly, he trotted along with an assistant and sat next to Jiang Ming:

“Why are you here?” His tone was still so irritable.

“I should be asking you, why did House, who never leaves Princeton Hospital, come out for a consultation?”

Jiang Ming smiled speechlessly.

“The iPhone 4 is very useful. I don’t want my subsequent phones to become slow. Playing billiards on the iPhone is very smooth.”

“Game?” Jiang Ming was stunned.

“Hmm.” House stroked his unkempt beard.

“That’s right. You don’t have many patients, so it’s normal for you to have time to play games.”

As usual, Jiang Ming made a sarcastic remark to House, who just laughed. The assistant next to him winked at Jiang Ming. It was obvious that he had been bullied by House a lot during this period. When he saw Jiang Ming, his mind brightened. Who wouldn’t want to switch to work under Jiang Ming?

But there are only a few people who can really work under Jiang Ming.

In addition to House, many people who had never seen Jiang Ming before and those who had seen him before came to greet him.

There is no way. Jiang Ming is too famous now. Whether it is the awards in the medical field or the reputation gained by winning two consecutive NBA championships, Jiang Ming is a “net celebrity” in the doctor circle.

Even Sean is very popular because of his bear-like eyes and silly personality, as well as the 3D printing medical patents he is researching, which are of interest to many doctors.

Famous doctors from all over the world gathered here, and there was also a Japanese female doctor wearing high heels who sat in the first row with her legs crossed.

There were several Indian doctors sitting together in the last row, and the smell of curry on their bodies reached Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming also met the Suns’ miracle doctor Thomas Carter and the US Dream Team’s team doctor Lisa. He didn’t expect that they were both invited.

You should know that Lisa will be busy forming an Olympic team medical team soon. Don’t ask Jiang Ming how she knew that, because Lisa actually invited Jiang Ming to join the US Olympic team medical team. Isn’t that nonsense?

Although the team medical teams of various countries are not restricted by nationality just like the coaching team, why let Jiang Ming help the US team?

dream!

Not to mention that he himself immediately refused.

Not to mention that this year China and the United States are competing for the top gold medal. If I go to the United States, wouldn’t it indirectly cause the Rabbit to reduce the number of gold medals?
Jiang Ming wouldn’t do such a thing.

Just as people in the medical community were greeting each other, a person walked up to the main conference podium.

Bald head, black suit, and glasses.

Seems to be.
Everyone looked at the person who was looking at them. It was not Jobs himself, the great speaker, but his attending physician:

Aaron Swenson.

He looks a bit like Steve Jobs. If I didn’t look carefully, I would really mistake him for him.

Aaron Swenson was a chief physician who jumped from Mayo to Apple’s medical department. He showed a sense of arrogance from the beginning of the consultation.

Sitting behind Jiang Ming, House’s blonde assistant whispered in Jiang Ming’s ear:

“Aaron Swenson is not willing to hold such a consultation. It must be Jobs’s request. He himself is definitely not willing to invite outsiders.”

House nodded:

“Aaron Swenson’s diet is so amazing that it has been reported in medical newspapers around the world as a case study. He also said that Steve Jobs was supposed to die a few years ago, but he was able to live to the age of 50.”

Jiang Ming’s mouth twitched when House said this. This was too straightforward.

In that case, Jiang Ming actually regretted not calling Xuecun Baiye over. As for theory, Jiang Ming certainly could not convince the person in front of him.

Sean has a chance, but Xuecun Baiye can definitely do it!

Aaron Swenson first talked about the time when he took over the treatment of Jobs and Jobs’ previous medical history.

The situation was similar to what Jiang Ming knew before he came. Simply put, when Jobs was first diagnosed with cancer, he refused to use traditional medical methods.

Ultimately, his family and friends, including Intel’s Andy Grove, convinced him to have the surgery.

The operation was performed by Aaron Swenson.

That’s why Jobs later recruited him directly to Apple.

“Jobs admitted to me at the time that he regretted starting with alternative medicine.

So until now, no one knew exactly when Jobs’ cancer returned, or if it was ever contained.”

While Aaron Swenson was talking,
The voice of the Japanese female doctor who was sitting with her legs crossed in the front row rang out, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.

“No, can you please get to the point? I’m not here to listen to your bragging. Where is President Jobs? I want to examine him personally.”

In fact, it was not just her. Others were also talking about it under her shouting, and bursts of voices were heard from time to time:

“Yeah, Aaron Swenson, do you have to say so much here?”

“Consult directly, tell us what condition Jobs is in now!”

“We are all doctors, why are you pretending?”

Those present are indeed the T0 in the industry, or famous doctors from all over the world. Their time is very precious. Even if Aaron Svensson is from Mayo, so what? Everyone’s time is precious. Who will listen to your nonsense?

Aaron Swenson, who was imitating Steve Jobs’ speaking style and speaking with great eloquence, was suddenly embarrassed on the stage. He did not expect this kind of situation to happen. These people did not give Apple headquarters or him any face at all?

House was already wearing headphones, and Jiang Ming was about to take out his iPad to watch Korean dramas with Jiang Muyan.

Because for doctors of their level, anything anyone said before they heard Jobs speak directly and saw his immediate physical examination materials was just nonsense and useless.

“Wait a minute, everyone. I’ll tell you about Mr. Jobs’ current situation. Don’t worry.”

Aaron Svensson could only put aside his pride and appease the famous doctors in front of him.

At this moment, the large projection screen at the back suddenly lit up, and a hospital bed and a man lying on the bed with an IV drip appeared on the screen.

Jobs!
Everyone looked at the screen.

Jobs, who looked so energetic on social media platforms, was now lying on a hospital bed, his thin face looking particularly haggard under the pale light.

His eyes were still deep, but lacked some of their former brilliance, as if shrouded in a layer of mist.

As if knowing that everyone was looking at him, Jobs stared at the camera, slowly moved his lips, and made a dry sound:
“Dear doctors, my pancreatic cancer has recurred.” (End of this chapter)
