Soundwave said: Yeah, surgery does that I guess. He's relatively luck though to be honest. He's required to take yearly medicals I believe as part of his position as president of Nintendo. If he wasn't, who knows may something like that could've gone unnoticed for years and become cancerous. So being president of Nintendo may have literally saved his life. |
Every company in Japan is obligated by law to arrange and pay for one full body medical examination per year for each of their workers. Being President might've sent him to a better clinic/hospital, but thats all the extras he gets.
