Jobs' Health Message Makes Little Sense, Experts Say
- jodrellblank 18y agoSteve Jobs is rich and smart and gets things done. When he says he makes something his number one priority, that means he's doing something serious about it. When he sees a doctor, it's not going to be the same sort of doctor who does liposuction with a trowel in a warehouse. When he has tests, they wont be a $2.50 chemistry set. He will see real experts. They will expertly advise him. Professionals will say things like the two people at the end of the linked article - "I have no knowledge of his condition and will not comment" and "Asked whether armchair diagnoses are reasonable or productive, Skarulis replied, 'Unfortunately, no'" and "agreed with Lustig's assessment of Jobs' statement as insufficiently detailed to merit speculation" Real experts will not take a deliberately vague brief announcement to the general public, with no medical history or test results, and start second guessing the doctor(s) involved and implicitly accusing the CEO of a very successful company of telling untruths, and 'real' journalists would not take this rumourmongering gossipy timewasting wordflood and submit it as news, and 'real' reputable news company editors would not approve it for worldwide publication under their once good name.
