Reader comment on: In Defense of Theranos

The idea that a strip can be used makes more sense even in developing countries where facilities for drawing blood are scarce. http://www.fiercemedicaldevices.com/story/device-performs-hundreds-tests-single-drop-blood-wins-nokia-sensing-xchalle/2014-11-10 an article about such a test system developed with funding by the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation. Or this article:http://thefutureofthings.com/4991-v-chip-does-50-tests-with-one-drop-of-blood/ So the idea is good with many trying to develop it. It may rather be that Theranos is running a stock scam right now.
