Steve Jobs biographer: Jobs refused surgery

"60 Minutes" has posted a preview teaser from its interview with Walter Isaacson, the biographer whose book about the life of the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs hits store shelves next week. In the interview, Isaacson says that Jobs initially refused to have surgery until urged by friends and family.

In the clip, which is embedded below, Steve Kroft of "60 Minutes" gets Isaacson to discuss Jobs' handling of a tumor, which Isaacson says Jobs attempted to treat with alternative medicine versus having it surgically removed.

"You know, I've asked him about that," Isaacson told Kroft. "He said 'I didn't want my body to be opened, I didn't want to be violated in that way,' he's regretful about it," Isaacson remembers.

Isaacson then told Kroft that Jobs' wife tried to urge Jobs to get the surgery, followed shortly thereafter by "everybody" else, which Jobs then did nine months after the diagnosis.

Well, time for mourning is over.



The man became a dick in his later years.


Fuck Apple.
