He was a great marketer and charismatic figure, but he had the right guys in the room (Wozniak, Howarth, Ive, etc.) to develop his idea. Holmes had nothing but her hubris. Her technology could never work, and inventors knew it, but they'd get fired or sued if they admitted.

    I'm still amazed how Elizabeth Holmes sold the idea to so many billionaire investors without ever being questioned about the practicality of it. Even if her idea was plausible in the real world, it would take lots of knowledge combining biochemistry, medicine, and engineering. Considering she dropped out after freshman year, there was no way anyone like her could have that much combined knowledge and experience to achieve something like that. I wonder, if the investors ever asked her who developed these machines and what's the principle behind it? Granted, hype can push you a long way in Silicon Valley, but this was not developing a software app, she was playing with people's lives. How come these investors didn't worry about the risk factor?

    • @AshleyONan

      bc none of them had a viable product to begin w and they figured if they threw enough $ at it, it would eventually materialize. assuming risk in that it may flop but the brunt of responsibility rested on her and her partner. which they were pretty damn convincing. ultimately, the success or failure of the edison wasn't the ethical problem of the investors, the hit was the loss of capital. these guys have $ to blow anyway. some of them recouped their losses.

    As a medical student, this story is so upsetting to me. In the medical field, we always joke about how investigations for a patient with vague symptoms is “bloods, bloods and more bloods”. But beneath that joke is the undeniable fact that accurate blood test results are vital for medical professionals to guide clinical decision making and provide management plans for patients. Theranos was lying to patients and doctors and putting patients’ lives at risk.

    Also, in order to do diagnostics you need a statistically significant sample. This involves taking large amounts of blood to run that many medical tests, versus a drop. You can’t get both serum calcium levels & white blood cell count from a drop. Which negates the possibility of 100s of blood tests from a drop to begin with. It’s a bit shocking how anyone believed this malarkey.

    Elizabeth dropping out of college because she thought she didn't need a few more classes reminds me of the "Dunning-Kruger effect".

Had she taken those classes, she might have realized she wasn't the expert she thought she was.

      Indeed. I think (I'm not certain, but I think) it would be admissible for a prosecutor at her eventual trial to ask her, on cross, something in the form, "Miss Holmes, it has been alleged that many of the things you have said and done have been deceptive, including aspects of how you choose to present yourself. I ask you now, have you been addressing this Court in your natural tone of voice?" I think any objection could be challenged on the basis that the question relates to the credibility of the witness, and it does: if something as basic about her as that is confected, it casts grave doubt on her credibility in other respects.

    Let me fill everyone in on something here. You cant just walk in off the street with a no degree or even a degree in biology, chemistry, microbiology, molecular science and start or even work in a laboratory. Especially a lab that does blood testing on people. You have to have a degree from a NACCLS accredited school/university. You get these degrees from places like the University of Cincinnati, Michigan State University, University of North Dakota, Universities in California (not going to name them all), New York State Universities and so on, mine is from Northeastern State University BS in Medical Laboratory Science. After graduating and doing about one year internship in a hospital lab, you sit for what is called the MLS ASCP. This MLS or medical laboratory scientist certification is obtained (once you sit and pass the test) is given to you by the American Society for Clinical Pathology. A test given to us by pathologists. You can go on and get a Masters in MLS and doctorate in MLS if you like. But we are the people who do correlation studies, help research for Phd and MD/DO in clinical testing, standardize testing, do instrumentation calibrations/ lot to lot testing and I could go on. To my knowledge she did not have anyone in my career field help her with this and I can tell you how I guessed that, when she came out public with these claims, my colleagues and I all called BS right off the bat. There are no lab instruments that can diagnose you with a drop of blood like she claimed. Now there is a point of care instrument that can give you some electrolyte results at bed side to give the docs a rough guesstimate of whats going on with you, but if you need a full work up, you need a some tubes of blood and FDA approved machines that you find in hospital or reference labs.
