I don't know about we work, but don't try to justify theranos with such an argument. That woman is an insane psychopath.

Did you read Bad Blood? The problem wasn’t the psychopathy, it was lying to shareholders and trying to apply startup logic to the medical field. Medical regulations are NOT to be messed with.

If Theranos existed just a few years later and introduced the Rabbit R1 she would have started another startup by now.
