El estado de salud del CEO de Apple, Steve Jobse se ha convertido en una obsesión para todos los medios desde el año pasado, cuando se le pudo apreciar muy delgado y decaído y más ahora que se ha levantado tanta especulación por su ausencia de la próxima MacWorld por lo que considero oportuno redactar una carta para toda la comunidad Apple explicando su estado de salud, no me queda más que transcribirla:

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

En ella, Jobs explica que la pérdida de peso se debe a un “desequililbrio hormonal” que altera el equilibrio proteíco de su organismo, pero que ya ha tomado cartas en el asunto y se solucionará el problema, comentado que se mantendrá como CEO de Apple y que sería el primero en comunicarle a la mesa directiva si no pudiese llevar a cabo sus responsabilidades.

La mesa directiva publicó una declaración expresando su respaldo, “Apple es muy afortunada de tener a Steve como su líder y CEO, y él merece nuestro total y firme apoyo durante su recuperación”.

Queda poco claro el origen de su enfermedad, mucho se especula que se trata de cáncer de pancreas, ojalá se recupere el cerebro detrás de Macintosh, estaremos al pendiente.
