So, if it is a national list, why does the article say he moved to Tennessee because the list was shorter?
It may have been easier to be listed at a higher score (thus more likely to get a transplant) by the medical team he consulted. That would be a medically unethical practice, particularly in the transplant world.
Note that he did not go to the premier Southern medical center: Vanderbilt, in Nashville. They would not inflate his degree of illness to place him at the top. I know those folks.
Do you recall that Walter Payton died of kidney disease before he made it up the list for a transplant? His celebrity status did not help him one bit because his doctors played by the rules.
If Jobs’ doctors manipulated the system, they may be in a world of hurt for unethical practice.
