Patients, former employee express concerns about Theranos | 20/20 ‘The Dropout’ Preview

[@JoanRudith]

This is that part that makes her con so much more egregious than say Billy Mcfarlands. And the fact that she was found guilty of defrauding investors, yet not guilty of defrauding patients tells you how we look at justice for the rich vs justice for the poor.

[@innocentnemesis3519]

Exactly this. Very indicative of what we base American, ahem, *values* on.

[@melodramatic7904]

I noticed this as a trend among all of these fraudsters. They're always found guilty of defrauding investors but never found guilty of defrauding the everyday person.

[@Khumzwi]

Abso-f'n-lutely!

[@MsJubjubbird]

It's not that simple. To be done for clinical misconduct you have to pretty much be involved in patient care directly for there to be no reasonable doubt. Because she was removed from administration it was a lot harder and it wouldn't have stuck. They suspended her from operating a lab and that was the best they could do

[@MsJubjubbird]

@@melodramatic7904 much bigger paper trail and also high profile cases attract ore government finding for prosecution

[@BitofeverythingViSA]

And yet she was found not guilty of defrauding patients...

[@linapasteur]

Since the first time I heard about Theranos in 2016, I was in undergrad of biology, and I told myself there was NO WAY it was possible. Then I forgot a little about it, low and behold, 2 years later, I was right. Even an undergrad can see it's impossible with our tech.

You should've dropped out 1st year. Then you, too, could've escaped the confinements of the merely possible.

I've never heard of Theranos or Elizabeth Holmes before The Dropout. It's genuinely insane how this all happened

[@808INFantry11X]

Theranos time on the stage was brief but it's effects are goingbto be felt for a long time. I'm not surprised you didn't know the company but if you look big scandals involving entrepreneurship your going to hear references to Thernaos and Elizabeth Holmes.

[@johnjohnson3709]

I’m an average Joe and I know the difference between the two.

[@jackkennedy7078]

I wanna know how accurate this testing was though.... why in every video do they talk about these cases where things were not correct but never mention times when the science was spot on? What is the ratio of Correct Diagnosis v Incorrect Diagnosis from the theranos machine and where did the research and science go when the company was disposed?

[@koolaidman6251]

Because the answer is literally never. It was never correct. It is impossible for a finger prick to ever give this kind of information accurately, period. That is what the professor at Stanford told Elizabeth when she first proposed this idea. It's what all the actual trained scientists were saying. That is one of the many reasons this story is so crazy -- it's like someone convincing a bunch of billionaires that pegasus horses are real and getting funding for a pegasus farm.

[@Bloooo95]

There was no “Theranos machine”. They took a tiny amount of blood, diluted it with water and put it in a machine put out by another company that requires more blood. The entire thing is a lie. There was no research.

[@johnjohnson3709]

When you have bad posture and messed up hair people will believe everything you say because it looks like you’ve been working so darn hard and not question you especially when they may have a chance to make lots of money!

Ms Holmes might be treated like poor people who go to State Prison: she might have to give birth while incarcerated. Family Planning might have been appropriate. My apologies for the superficial comment coming here: Erika Cheung is looking extremely beautiful. She is glowing. It must be the elimination of being abused at and by Theranos.

Why’d they make the actor in the Drop Out for Erica cheung so Asian looking when in real life she’s not!

[@meghanphillips3495]

Because Erika Cheung is Asian?

[@JoanRudith]

I’m thinking the same. She looks like she’s half white. I guess they couldn’t find an actress with that Asian/White ambiguity who was good enough to play the role. So they leaned more Asian. I could be wrong, but that strike me too. Racial ambiguity is something I’m pretty much conditioned to notice. 🤷🏽‍♀️
