seem to remember Steve Jobs ignoring doctors advice in relation to his cancer for a year or more in favour of non traditional remedies, but after that not working and at the pleading of his friends and family he returned to the doctor and was told he needed a transplant.

I don't quite remember the details but to get a transplant quickly I think he bought homes in multiple states to apply, and proved he had a private jet ready so he could get to the hospital within x hours.

As we know the transplant was too late and he died. Not sure the point of my half remembered story, it just came to mind
