Elizabeth Holmes promised to revolutionize medicine with Theranos, a company valued at $9 billion that claimed it could run dozens of blood tests using just a few drops of blood. But behind the black turtlenecks, celebrity status, and billionaire headlines, the technology wasn't delivering what the company promised. And while investors were being misled, ordinary patients were receiving frightening and sometimes dangerously inaccurate test results.

Some patients were told they might have HIV when they didn't. Others were led to believe they were miscarrying when their pregnancies were progressing normally. One patient's blood test prompted a change to his blood-thinning medication before the original result was later corrected. Despite the devastating implications of unreliable medical testing, Holmes was convicted of defrauding investors, not on the patient-related charges. Her former business partner, Sunny Balwani, was convicted on all charges against him, including those involving patients.

Now, a new documentary is bringing renewed attention to Holmes, who continues to defend her legacy while serving her prison sentence. Meanwhile, her partner, Billy Evans, is developing a medical-testing company of his own, raising fresh questions about the future of diagnostic technology and Holmes's possible influence. Theranos may be gone, but the consequences of its failures, and the question of who was truly held accountable, remain. Do you think the Theranos scandal has ever received the full accountability it deserves?
