Steve Jobs äussert sich in offenem Brief über seine Gesundheit

Seit Steve Jobs’ erfolgreich behandelter Krebserkrankung im Jahr 2004 kamen immer wieder Spekulationen über den Gesundheitszustand des Apple-CEOs auf. Nach dem im Vorfeld der Macworld immer wildere Gerüchte die Runde machten, wendet sich Steve Jobs nun in einem offenen Brief an die Öffentlichkeit. Steve Jobs leidet offenbar an einem hormonellen Ungleichgewicht, welches zu deutlichem Gewichtsverlust geführt hat. Gemäss Steve ist dies aber kein Grund zur Beunruhigung. Der Apple-Chef befindet sich in medizinischer Behandlung und die Ärzte gehen von einer vollständigen Genesung bis im Frühjahr aus. Steve Jobs wird sein Amt als Apple-CEO sowohl während der Behandlung als auch in der Zeit danach weiterhin ohne Beschwerden ausführen können.

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

Der Apple-Vorstand hat ebenfalls ein kurzes Statement veröffentlicht:

It is widely recognized both inside and outside of Apple that Steve Jobs is one of the most talented and effective CEOs in the world.

As we have said before, if there ever comes a day when Steve wants to retire or for other reasons cannot continue to fulfill his duties as Apple’s CEO, you will know it.

Apple is very lucky to have Steve as its leader and CEO, and he deserves our complete and unwavering support during his recuperation. He most certainly has that from Apple and its Board.
