that is what attracted my attention towards sanjay. what started out as a project to activate the exterior of the building became something completely different. it took on its own life. when sanjay came back to us with a body of work for what was supposed to be a simple exterior project, we were completely blown away. >> that is kind of you. first off, she is the smart one. she should know better to pick someone like me. thank you for recognizing my work and inviting me to participate with the museum. before i go into that -- i have to segue. there is one cool distinction with the modern russia. i do not want to give away too much, but all the paintings, he has an awesome mustache. i feeling that is the son of a king. i notice there are not a lot of people here with moustaches except one. one particular person. mr. mayer has an awesome mustache. that is a great sign of his king weakness. it was really exciting. you hear awaken, expire. i am kind of cynical. that is like the corporate man telling me something. the fact is, they were al

i'm pulling that up now here, sanjay. but you can see it there, that is now -- you can see it here, sanjay -- na is the exact page you get when it comes back, obviously a picture from several years ago of mr. jobs. it is something that when he stepped aside on august 24th, that we were all talking about because he has created -- i mean, sanjay, you travel all the time, i travel all the time, you know, china, you say to kids what do you think of america and they start yelling iphone. it has become a real symbol for america, in a positive way. >> there are so few novel products. look at the products that come out that have something truly novel, truly something you haven't seen before is unusual it seems nowadays. every time there was an announcement by apple, i knew what i wanted for a potential gift, so it's remarkable. i saw that around the world as well. people loved having these products. >> we -- yesterday we went to the apple store for the 4s and we had fun with it. they were going to come out with the 5 and they com

sanjay gupta. sanjay, it's interesting, jobs waited nine months to have surgery. based on what we know, how much of a difference could that have made had he acted sooner? >> you know, i think the mantra is always you want to try and treat things as early as possible. there's a couple things to keep in mind. first of all, people are probably going to try and figure out exactly how much of a difference that made and i think that's probably impossible to do. i don't think it can be done. certainly not now. but i think the more important point, anderson, was the second part of that, which is that at the time he did have surgery ultimately after his biopsy and then surgery, a few months later, they were able to remove the tumor according to the reports that i've read, the doctors that i've spoken to, some who cared for him. so, if the concern was i wait and, therefore, the tumor becomes inoperable, that wasn't the case even several months later, the operation was still, quote unquote, successful in terms of removing the visible mass of tumor. >> according to isaacson,

dan simon join us now along with sanjay gupta. pancreatic cancer. that's what he had, sanjay? >> they think it was a variant of pancreatic cancer. a type of neuro endoctrine tumor. the cells that make insulin, they think it was a tumor of those cells. you may know, anderson, it's a tough, tough cancer. just haven't made great progress in terms of treatments, let alone cures, for this. >> why would he had a liver transplant? >> it's a good question. there's been some studies recently. you remember, he sort of had this done literally by night. he went to memphis, tennessee, he told no one about it, got this liver transplant. even among the medical community, it's a bit of a controversial thing. there's some data to suggest that doing a liver transplant can help with how well a p pancreatic cancer is amenable to treatment, how well someone can recover overall. in his case, may have provided some benefit. the statistics for pancreatic cancers across the board are terrible, 20%, just a few years survival. he talked to hisp in 2004 about his diagnosis but i think he was actually dia

host of the sanjay gupta, m.d., is joining us now. sanjay, i just wanted to start off with, first of all, what do thyroid abnormalities mean? what are some of the health repurchase discussions? >> it's a major source of hormones in the body. one of the first things that they notice is that the thyroid gland is not working and they have problems of feeling tired and a lot of people don't realize it's a thyroid problem. they look for all sorts of different causes and if it's a thyroid problem specifically, that has to be treated. what is so interesting here and what we've seen throughout history, erin, is when you talk about radiation, you're talking about all sorts of different particles. but some of those particles are things that are taken up into the body and then concentrated in the thyroid gland. the thyroid gland prepares these isotopes and it's the first time that a cancer or some sort of irregularity may develop. sort of thing about the thyroid gland as a ka nar ree in the coal mine after a nuclear problem like this. >> and now

sanjay gupta is joining us now. sanjay, i'm curious. when you are treating somebody this high profile and you know what the situation is, is there more pressure, added pressure on you as a doctor? >> i think sometimes there is. i think all hospitals, all doctors, any health care professional would like to say we treat all patients the same. i think for the most part, we do. but i think what is counter intuitive, perhaps, here is that people thinking about someone like steve jobs or another high profile person is that sometimes being high profile could be a detriment. you think sometimes it would be an advantage. but sometimes it's a detriment because sometimes doctors may use more kid gloves, be less likely to make the important decisions that need to be made. so think of reagan, for example, when he went to the hospital after being shot, how long it took for doctors to figure out the extent of his injuries because they were treating him with such deference. same thing with kennedy when he was shot. steve jobs, he spent about a year aft

sanjay gupta is with us. the idea that he might have been addicted to demerol, is that consistent with the behavior that we know he was taking part of? >> well, dr. waldman made this conclusion by basically looking at documentation of his demerol use over the -- >> he was getting demerol from his dermatologist. >> he was getting demerol from another doctor, a doctor that is not allowed to testify -- the judge precluded him from testimony in this particular trial. but that's been documented. he received high doses of demerol, enough that dr. waldman said it was consistent with an addict, as opposed to someone who's demerol naive. and the second part of what he was saying is that someone who's withdrawing from demerol, starting to taper their doses, behave in a very consistent way as well, including feeling just miserable, feeling like the worst flu they ever had, which is something that michael jackson also complained about. >> i also want to bring into the conversation marcia clark, author of the book "guilt

sanjay gupta is joining us now. sanjay, talk a little bit about the pancreatic cancer. it's been a battle he's had for, what, eight years. it's a very, very difficult type of cancer to deal with. >> there's no question about it. i mean, pancreatic cancer is one of those cancers that we don't have great treatments for, let alone a cure. i will tell you, though, you know, he tells a very poignant story about when he got diagnosed, steve jobs does. they found a lesion on his pancreas. they were pretty convinced that it was pancreatic cancer. he ended up having a biopsy. and he talked about this in the speech he gave at stanford, where during the biopsy the doctors literally started to cry because they saw the type of tumor that it was and realized that it wasn't the most aggressive form of pancreatic cancer but rather what's known as a neuroendokrin tumor, a rare form of pancreatic cancer. the pancreatic -- the aggressive form of pancreatic cancer, the numbers are absolutely abysmal. 20% one-year survival rate. just think about that. but even with this variant of pancreati
