Theranos is full of shit, part 100.
I am sure board members, like George Shultz and Henry Kissinger, are wrought with confusion and anger over the spate of recent allegations depicting Theranos as a fraud, as its founder, Elizabeth Holmes, gallivants around town fundraising for H. Clinton.
According to a study done at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, cholesterol blood test results appreciably differed from competitors Labcorp and Quest. Naturally, both Quest and Labcorp could be the wrong parties and the college drop out, Elizabeth Holmes’ innovative finger prick results, might measure supreme in comparison. But, the Journal of Clinical Investigation thinks not and published this study, much to the chagrin of Theranos –who tried to coax them into shelving the story.
The good doctors from the Journal of Clinical Investigation told Theranos to fuck off and published said report with both vigor and tenacity.
The study included 60 healthy patients and the results were alarming. On average, Theranos was lower by 9.3%, compared to Quest and LabCorp, which is enough to halt doctors from prescribing statins to treat for high cholesterol.
According to the Dr. Schadt, professor and chair of Genetics at Mt. Sinai, the good folks from Theranos didn’t respond to his reports. He believes the pinprick results might’ve been tainted by dilution of the sample, or something of that magnitude.
The saga continues.

God damned sexists. How dare they attack a woman.
The pricks got pinned.
I honestly didn’t know George Schultz was still alive.
I had a dealing with him in the early ’80s (Yes, 1980s).
I was a young attorney and I got involved in litigation involving the Islamic Republic of Iran and an American electronics company where a suit was filed for basically a breach of contract (among other things) when the Iranian hostage takeover put a hold on various matters.
Schultz (who was Sect’y of State under RR) filed an intervention in the matter and it was transferred to the International Tribunal in the Hague.
For a young attorney like myself it was pretty cool as I filed a brief in the 11th US Circuit Ct. of Appeals in Atlanta and it involved International Standby Letters of Credit (never did I think would actually do this when I was in law school).
The study was done at Ichan’s hospital. I’m anticipating a disclosure that he went long labcorp or quest tomorrow.
Of course Theranos is a huge scam. This bitch is a psychopath.
