      llonden - It didnt’t stop George Schulz. He used the theranos tests personally and believed they were accurate. however the tests always took a vial of blood, not just a drop.
      and his his grandson was the whistleblower that finally brought theranos down.

      I'm not quite sure how she tricked all these people. Like sure, in the moment itself, the idea of this woman faking her voice and such seems so absurd that we instead opt to believe her. That part I get. What I don't get though is that this woman made herself stand out in multiple ways where I feel like the subconscious psyche would eventually say "something isn't right." Feels like you don't WANT to stand out if you're committing fraud and she stood out in spades. If I'm an investor and this woman with the deep voice that tries so hard to be Steve Jobs, never blinks and has very robotic movements doesn't show me the full process of the product and how it's produced, I start getting skeptical and asking why they don't wanna show it.

      That is her voice, I believe it's tied to her serious attitude more so than some stunt she's pulling. I know women like that. A real feminine con-artist would play to her feminine strengths, not pretend to be male.
      Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying she isn't dropping her voice. I just don't think it's to imitate a male. It's more about her serious attitude.

    My dad worked for Theranos when there was just 30 people. It makes me glad that people like Carreyou are able to step up and expose this mess. My dad has always suspected that Theranos was up to no good, but didn't have the proof to confirm this. Back in Theranos's early days the device already didn't work. One of the original ideas, using bioluminescence, barely worked. The next few incarnations worked just as well. My dad had always remarked on how she had such a silver tongue. Whenever she talked, the people followed her like peasants to a queen. In fact, my dad and his friend called Elizabeth "Q" because of this, short for Queen. That's probably where the term "Empress" came into being. She was a snake with a silver tongue. Some of you may ask why it was so difficult for someone to finally expose this mess, after all, just one person could have spilled the beans. It wasn’t that simple. Even from the beginning, Theranos had a full team of lawyers. Anybody who left the company was forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement, to "protect" their products. Elizabeth expected nothing but cooperation. Anybody who questioned her methods would get the boot. That was precisely how my dad got kicked out. He questioned her on some things and corrected her on others, and so he got kicked out. Even people who were extremely qualified for the job were kicked out if they dared to question Q. Everybody knew that the device did not work. The biochem guys knew it, the executives knew it, even the software engineers knew it didn't work. But if they dared to say anything, they would get kicked out and would face legal action from the team of lawyers. That coupled with her extreme popularity (she was very good at getting people on her side) silenced any possible whistleblowers. That's why only someone very rich and influential could have spilled the beans. Elizabeth essentially created something close to a "cult of personality" around herself. For example, right when Carreyou was publishing Elizabeth's crimes, rallies where the people would say "Fuck-you-Carrey-ou" happened within the company. Just wanted to give this bit of information.

      Other similarities: Both were huge assholes. Among other things, Jobs tried getting out of paying child support for his daughter by claiming in court he is sterile, and he never paid more than the court-assigned amount even after becoming a millionaire while she was still a minor. Jobs also was involved in questionable medicine. After he was first diagnosed with cancer, he spent a year trying alternative remedies, which medical professionals believe cost him his life. And then there was the part where he tried all the possible legal finagling to get himself pushed ahead in the organ transplant recipient list.

    Of all the interviews I've read and seen regarding the Theranos scandal, Reason TV's is by far the most insightful and entertaining. I especially loved it when Mr. Gillespie asked Mr. Carreyrou about all the old guys on the board who had their vanity flattered by Ms. Holmes' attentions, a subject hilariously addressed in the 60 Minutes film "Blood Money" released in August of this year.

    Another lie by Elizabeth was when she said that doctors depend a 70% in blood test to reach a diagnosis. We don't rely heavily in imaging or bloodwork as many people think we do, actually 70% of a diagnosis comes from the Clinical history where the patient tells me whats the reason of their visit to my office, I grab all this info and put it together with the patients non pathological and pathological background, then I do a physical examination and by this point I already have a diagnostic suspicion and then we ask for exams so we direct this properly because if a person comes with a abdominal pain Im not going to ask for Brain CT scan or ask for Rheumatoid factor. Is very rare the case in which we send people to get tested before we have a partial diagnosis at leas
