Steve Jobs Issues Update On His Health

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the can't-believe-this-is-news dept.

i4u writes "Rumors about Steve Jobs' health have been flying high again after Apple announced that he will not be holding the keynote at the Macworld 2009. Today Steve Jobs issued a letter with a rather personal update on why he was losing weight in 2008. The reason for losing weight in 2008 is a hormone imbalance that has been reducing proteins. The remedy for this nutritional problem is relatively simple and straightforward according to Jobs. Steve and his doctors predict that he will have normal weight again by Spring. So stop the rumors and enjoy Macworld 2009."

      Glad the noble and respectable trolls of Slashdot are doing their job. Keep up the good work, sirs! The world is a better place for it.

  4. Months to prep for a keynote? by Johnny_Longtorso · · Score: 0, Troll

    Seriously - months to prepare? I've seen massive numbers of keynotes in my day, and while they're impressive speeches, they're just that. Why would anyone need more than a couple weeks for this, much less a techno-weenie like Jobs? I've given a talk to 1,400 with a week to take over someone else's content....

    If you really are a physician then shame on you. Trying to give a differential based on a media report is pathetic.

    That's just bad practice and horribly unprofessional. I can excuse the nerds here who don't know what they are talking about, but you sir just scraped the bottom of the barrel. You should know better.

    You sir are exactly what is wrong with medicine. You keep medical opinions in the realm of medicine. You don't add to internet rumor mongering with armchair medical differentials that you know full well you pulled out of your ass.

    You don't have the slightest clue what is going on with Jobs. All the information you have you got from media sources and from that you try to "enlighten" us with your bullshit.

    "Doctors" like you, and I use that name loosely, make me sick. If you spent half as much time practicing medicine as you did bullshitting people with half assed opinions based on completely suspect information we'd all be better for it. Learn to shut your fucking mouth once in a while.
