Steve Jobs was looking for alternative cure

CNN says Steve Jobs was skeptical of mainstream medicine and waited several months to have surgery for his pancreatic cancer:

the Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) CEO was skeptical of mainstream medicine. Jobs decided to employ alternative methods to treat his pancreatic cancer, hoping to avoid the operation through a special diet – a course of action that hasn’t been disclosed until now.

For nine months Jobs pursued this approach, as Apple’s board of directors and executive team secretly agonized over the situation – and whether the company needed to disclose anything about its CEO’s health to investors

    The article mentions that Jobs’ cancer was discovered during a routine abdominal scan. Let’s have a show of hands from those who have had a routine abdominal scan. Is this something everybody but me has? Something that comes with the best of health care plans?
