Finally something we can do together Tom Smith

I am a corporate law professor married to an endocrinologist (aka hormone doctor).  We should be really excited about this.  I'm trying to think of something we could write together on it.  But we don't have the time anyway.  

My lovely wife Jeanne gets very excited about hormonal problems.  The most exciting thing for her professionally might be to diagnose a really obscure hormonal disease based on some obscure clues.  A patient walks in complaining of tingling in his left big toe, dandruff, a peculiar ringing noise in her right ear and an aversion to zesty dill pickles.  Aha!  It's DiddlyBob's Second Syndrome!  Extremely rare.  But I will definitely ask her whether this I have a hormonal problem story from Jobs is legit or not.

The AP has an article where an endocrinologist opined that Jobs was exhibiting symptoms similar to Type I Diabetes, which stands to reason since the man did have a good portion of his pancreas removed as treatment for pancreatic cancer. The doctor in the story also speculated about a possible enzyme deficiency as a result of the partial removal of Jobs's pancreas, as well.

Let's face it--reality distortion is hell on the system.
