On a more humorous note - I'd like to see you volunteer as a Beta Tester for Theranos' next release :) :)

I would happily do so. I do not have any health conditions that require testing, however, so I would not be exposing myself to risk by doing so.

Except your test results could come back falsely positive causing you to get sick from treatment to cure a disease you don't have.
See the problem?

I'd expect my physician to interpret them with the proper expectation. All tests have some probability of a false negative or false positive, and medicine is not so simple as reading a test result and ordering treatment.
