I had a similar thought the other day. Taking into account the stories about his character, I could easily imagine him looking around in the hospital and decreeing every bit of hardware and software to be a "peice of shit" (excuse the language, I'm paraphrasing). Add to that his own personal experience with his health, it would be hard to imagine Mr Jobs resisting the urge to put Apple's talent to the task.

The "Steve Jobs" biography by Walter Isaacson specifically mentioned that Steve spent a good portion of his time in the hospital designing superior interfaces for the medical devices that surrounded him.

Well that answers that then.

Maybe I'm wrong but it wasn't so much designing as it was complaining about the design of various devices around him. I remember something about a face mask and the pulse reader on his finger. I'm not sure though. It came off as he was being a bit difficult rather than offering up design suggestions.
