Macworld 2009와 스티브잡스의 휴식, 그의 건강 상태는?

MacWorld 2009가 열리는 Moscone에서 큰 사건이 있었다고 합니다. 구체적인 사건 이야기는 전해지지 않았으나 애플과 관련된 이야기라고 하네요. 그 와중에 Apple Steve Jobs가 크게 화를 내면서 그 소동에 대한 충격으로 쓰러질뻔 했던 사태까지 있었다는 이야기까지...!

현재 스티브잡스는 몸 건강 상태에 대한 이야기를 조용하게 풀어가고 있지만 Steve Jobs 주치의 말로는 스티브 잡스의 급격한 체중 저하는 호르몬 불균형에 의한 심리적 상태 불안과 체질량 감소라고 한답니다.

돌아오는 봄까지 이런 건강 상태의 악조건을 이겨내야만 다시 현업에서 활동할 수 있다고 하는데요.

대체적으로 의사가 낸 소견에 솔직하게 답하고 성실하게 답하며 자신의 건강 상태를 체크하고 있다고 합니다.

Letter from Apple CEO Steve Jobs

Dear Apple Community,

For the first time in a decade, I’m getting to spend the holiday season with my family, rather than intensely preparing for a Macworld keynote.

Unfortunately, my decision to have Phil deliver the Macworld keynote set off another flurry of rumors about my health, with some even publishing stories of me on my deathbed.

I’ve decided to share something very personal with the Apple community so that we can all relax and enjoy the show tomorrow.

As many of you know, I have been losing weight throughout 2008. The reason has been a mystery to me and my doctors. A few weeks ago, I decided that getting to the root cause of this and reversing it needed to become my #1 priority.

Fortunately, after further testing, my doctors think they have found the cause—a hormone imbalance that has been “robbing” me of the proteins my body needs to be healthy. Sophisticated blood tests have confirmed this diagnosis.

The remedy for this nutritional problem is relatively simple and straightforward, and I’ve already begun treatment. But, just like I didn’t lose this much weight and body mass in a week or a month, my doctors expect it will take me until late this Spring to regain it. I will continue as Apple’s CEO during my recovery.

I have given more than my all to Apple for the past 11 years now. I will be the first one to step up and tell our Board of Directors if I can no longer continue to fulfill my duties as Apple’s CEO. I hope the Apple community will support me in my recovery and know that I will always put what is best for Apple first.

So now I’ve said more than I wanted to say, and all that I am going to say, about this.

Steve
