Apple’s Steve Jobs on Course to End Medical Leave
Published On: June 5th, 2009
Steve Jobs, who took a high-profile sick leave without actually saying much about what ailed him, is likely to return to work at Apple soon, the WSJ is reporting.
The nature of Jobs’s health problem was never made clear to the public, though WSJ says that during Jobs’s absence, some Apple directors were getting regular reports from his physician.
Jobs had surgery in 2004 to remove a rare, treatable form of pancreatic cancer. In 2008, he lost a lot of weight. In early 2009, he put out a statement that included this explanation:
…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.… The remedy for this nutritional problem is relatively simple and straightforward, and I’ve already begun treatment.
But just over a week later, Jobs said in an email to Apple employees that he had “learned that my health-related issues are more complex than I originally thought,” and said he would be taking medical leave until late June.
At the time, the Health Blog spoke with a few medical experts not involved in caring for Jobs who suggested that his earlier treatment for pancreatic cancer may have had something to do with his ;atest health problems. The pancreas plays an important in maintaining the body’s hormonal balance and in the digestive process. But those experts were only suggesting possibilities, and the public may never know for sure exactly why Jobs took a five-month medical leave.
