OK. Could all the steps other than waiting for a liver be done within, say, a month?

What is the wait time for a liver transplant? I googled and it says it varies a lot by chance and also how sick the patient is. Would Steve have gotten a liver transplant quickly due to the severity of his illness, or are lots of people worse?

This article (1) from Macworld says: "According to the hospital release, Jobs had the highest MELD score—Model for End-Stage Liver Disease—among patients of his blood type at the time of the procedure".
