Elizabeth Holmes takes Sanjay Gupta inside Theranos (2016)

Elizabeth Holmes, the CEO of Theranos, escorted CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta around her famously secretive research and development lab.
'The Dropout' offers an eye-opening view of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos
by Brian Lowry, CNN
(CNN) Elizabeth Holmes has been a source of fascination for many since glimpsing the husky-voiced, wide-eyed persona she affected in Alex Gibney's documentary "The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley." Amanda Seyfried nails all of that in "The Dropout," a slick Hulu docuseries devoted to Holmes' rise and Shakespearean fall, as well as the gender dynamics at play throughout.
Boasting an inordinately good cast in even relatively minor roles, the series adopts an unexpectedly sympathetic posture toward Holmes, at least in the early going, as she seized on the idea of improving the blood-testing process before dropping out of Stanford to pursue her vision.
Part of that ambition, it's surmised, stemmed from watching her father's struggles thanks to working at Enron, although she clearly derived the wrong anything-to-win lesson from that experience.

[@ferociousgumby]

John Carreyrou wrote in his book BAD BLOOD that he felt gender was definitely a factor in her phenomenal rise and the lack of rigorous questioning (Walgreen's putting her useless untested crap in their stores!) It was also tied to that Aryan ideal of blonde and blue-eyed (bulging blue eyes that never blinked, as in a cult leader). Now those very traits seem creepy, but back then they were mesmerizing. The incredulity that a woman like that could accomplish anything spoke volumes. When I look at early interviews, it always seems to be older men doing an amazed, gosh-gee-whiz, "look at this amazing young lady" crap, while she sat there and nodded vapidly. I am creeped out because it is obvious to me they would NOT have done any of this with an older woman, a less-attractive woman, a black woman, or a man. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3unlGeqhLpmsNE

AWESOME COMMENTARY LOL

[@Sai4651]

The impact Theranos has had on blood testing companies is still relevant today. Because of how ridiculous the claims Theranos made, investors who didn't have the medical or technical knowledge unfortunately fell for the snake oil. All investment money for the blood testing market went to Theranos, meaning that companies who were making real blood testing kits that were trying to realistically improve the current equipment weren't getting any funding, because Theranos took it all away. Then, because so many investors got burned by Theranos since they were lying about the technology, blood testing companies still have trouble collecting funds because Theranos scared all the investors away from the industry since they now view it as a scam.

[@rigelb9025]

Given how much it infected the entire industry, that company may as well have been called Thetanos.

[@ispeeeaaakeeewhaaaleee]

Excellent point. I wonder if this was regarded during the sentencing?

[@accuser_of_the_brethren7816]

Oh wow, I was really interested to learn her backstory and watched a few docs however, I'd never thought of it in the way you mentioned it. By bullsh*thing investors about her miracle machine (Edison) they all started funding Theranos so no other R&D companies who were legitimate, received anything because of this. So by being a fraudulent charlatan and promising tech that was years ahead of the current methodology, she literally sent blood work/analysis and diagnosis years back in the other direction!

As a 26 year old entrepreneur, i was looking for inspiring business movies or series to watch. It is now 3 AM, i could not stop binging The Dropout series. I stumbled onto this without diving too deep in the trailers. During episode 1,2 and 3 i was rooting for Elizabeth because the entrepreneurial spirit it takes to overcome obstacles. About 4 episodes in i started hating this woman with every fiber in me. By the time she changed her voice to be more "deep" i was about to pull my hair out. Can you imagine the bone chilling shock i got at the end of episode 8 when they started listing the real-life case updates, it was literally just then that i realized this was a real life event. I am young and not from the US, so i never heard of Theranos or the real Elizabeth. This is insane on a level unimaginable. Elizabeth, you are a disgrace to all Women, Humanity and the entire Entrepreneur Society. The fact that even after all this, you can remain cool about your crimes proves you are a psychopathic monster with alien eyes, a demons hart and an insufferable pretentious voice.

Indeed. And I guess that's the crux of the issue, isn't it. Her field was NOT medicine. It was Big-Tech Start-Up, which is basically Silicon Valley's Kindergarten. And in her grand hubristic vision of herself posturing as the ''Female Steve Jobs'' and all, she thought she could just throw into it whatever would come off as the most altruistic, and that a few minor glitches here and there would largely go unnoticed or simply be ignored. And when shit hit the fan, she really milked that woman card for all it was worth, to such an extent that she happenned to get pregnant twice, at oddly convenient times, while on trial. Those poor kids will likely get bullied a lot. (which I do not condone, by the way, especially as a bullying survivor myself).

Imagine the harm this bitch and others in this company could have harmed many; and the so called investors some who sat on the board looking at dollars without any gumption or thought on science. If you kill someone because you didn't see or know there was a stop sign, you're still liable for vehicular manslaughter. Ignorance doesn't relieve anyone of anything. She, her management, and the board including former board and investors should lose it all. This is disgusting. Outright fraud, and idiots running into to support it. Carl Sagan was right, a society dependent and powerful from technology that very few understand is a combustible; it will eventually explode catastrophically.

jmitterii2 very well put. In other words, she has money, so she can whatever she wants

[@elizabethc7696]

She was already in the right network....anyone that came from a normal everyday family wouldn't have gotten where she had. Who she associated with helped her...and I think sleeping with a married man at 18/19 who is worth something like 55 million or whatever helps a lot too. Can buy the machines yourself and start running tests lol My question is why did investors think a 19 year old with no studies (only 2 semesters at a university that is probably just basic chemistry and biology) be able to create something like this? Why did these investors never require outside "clinical" studies of this machine with the thought of "I'll pay for the clinical studies from an outside party and if it passes the clinical studies then I'll invest xyz, but every year their has to be a clinical study by an non-affiliated group in order to get further investment."? It is just odd that no studies from an unbiased group was demanded or expected.

Wow! She keeps insisting that her technology works when it has been proven it doesn't. She had the chance to redeeem herself at the AACC, and she blew it. I watched the entire AACC Theranos presentation, and I was so disappointed. I really wanted her to succeed. She can't show any data about her Edison machine because the data just proves it doesn't work.

There is simply a fundamental flaw in her idea that Theranos never even ATTEMPTED to address..... blood from a fingerstick is filled with contaminants, like fat cells, interstitial fluid, etc. We do very routine fingersticks in the medical field for glucose, but any serious results get a venipuncture and lab study to confirm. And we already HAVE a rapid, handheld device that we use in emergency medicine called an I-stat.... but guess what: it still uses blood from the vein AND we send blood to the lab to confirm!!

She seems condescending to me, when she makes fun of the interviewer for calling a lancet a needle. I've spent years in college studying neuroscience and biology, and unlike her, I graduated, and then taught phlebotomy and worked in many phlebotomy labs. I understand that colloquially, lay people use the word needle to refer to a device for puncturing, like a sewing needle. She seems desperate try to assert dominance, whcih is funny when you remember that she is a drop out! She should be learning not teaching lol There's nothing dominant about an ignorant person who lies to everyone to boost their own self image. 🙄
