Regarding point 3, Carreyrou mentions that the numbers for prothrombin time from Theranos equipment were completely worthless. Patients had their anticoagulants adjusted by essentially throwing dice, and some may have died of stroke or infarction.
The whole Theranos affair goes just against all medical ethics that people in the medical field in fact observe. But that's why it was enabled by Silicon Valley financiers and Washington politicians. They are trying to foist a new kind of ethics on us (meanwhile they themselves avail themselves of boutique physicians), and we must not let it happen.
