There was one good thing that came out of Theranos and that's that the crazy woman got a law passed out here in AZ that we can order our own blood tests without a doctor. I don't understand why it is so frowned upon. I ordered tests to prove that I had a particular disease that apparently 'people your age don't get' so now I get treated properly for it rather than being told I'm a hypochondriac or have chronic fatigue and there's nothing to be done.
I'm in healthcare IT. I have access to UpToDate and the other databases doctors use. I still prefer looking at medical studies, but UpToDate is good for dosing information.
