13321074, I think that having a machine in your home telling you

that you might have X blood disorder or whatever is probably not any healthier than googling your symptoms and coming to whatever conclusion. The whole point of it was to be able to order your own blood tests, independent of any medical advice.

I think, if you can (because American health care,) you should probably have this done by doctors, so they can actually examine you (as opposed to just looking at the numbers in your blood test.) Because anything you get from a Theranos blood machine is going to require an actual medical follow up anyway to deal with whatever you might have. And if you can't see a doctor, the machine isn't going to help you anyway, because you will still need to see a doctor.

I'd rather be examined WITH the blood test, so someone can actually have a better idea of what I might actually need.
