The untold story of Tim Cook's friendship with Steve Jobs—and why Jobs wouldn't let Cook try to save his life.
According to Apple CEO Tim Cook, he first learned about Steve's need for a liver transplant in January 2009. By that time Steve wasn't coming into the office at all, and Cook would visit him at home just about every day. He started to worry that things might finally be headed in a fatal direction. "It was terrible going over there day after day and talking with him, because you could see him slipping," says Cook. Steve was starting to look alarmingly frail. He developed ascites—an accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity, which caused his belly to protrude in a ghastly fashion—and he just lay in bed all day, gaunt and tired and irritable.
