That is ridiculous on its face, but even more so in the Theranos case.
I always think back to interviews with the Dean of Medicine at Stanford who sat down with Holmes at the very beginning and just succinctly told her that it just isnt possible. Its a neat idea, but you cannot run all these tests with that little blood, its fundamentally flawed and completely impossible.
You can miniaturize technology to a degree...sure. But you cant change the amount of blood needed to run certain tests and still have those tests be valid and accurate.
But she went and did it anyways and bilked a ton of people out of their cash.

The next fake it til you make it people they need to go after are the "Breathe Right Strips" to prevent snoring. They don't do jack squat.
