Elizabeth Holmes

You may be confusing me with tech entrepreneurs who cash out and walk away wealthy.  I didn't.  I never sold a share despite all the opportunities to do so. Never enriched myself. I gave everything I had to our company, to seeing our mission through, down to the last second it lived.  What I have to give is blood, sweat, and tears. And from the torment of my fight over the last ten years, and indomitable fire in me to realize our vision for affordable, accessible healthcare, to realize change. I want to serve our country.  Pain stokes a fire that cannot be extinguished. As I've endured the violence of this journey, I have studied relentlessly over the past eight years. I have studied and studied profound learnings from my failures. And I have studied and researched technology developments, incessantly - in sensors, drug delivery, drug development, and AI. All for this moment. This moment in which AI is rewriting the rules of diagnostics, drug discovery, and patient care, and the policy decisions we make will determine whether that transformation lowers costs and expands access, makes America Healthy again, or simply concentrates profits. This is the moment that will define our country's leadership in AI and in healthcare. This moment in which innovation is pivotal to curbing healthcare costs, and building a world in which no one has to say goodbye too soon to those they love because we don't catch disease in time.  Theranos challenged the profit center of Big Healthcare - an industry that refuses to change, because change means loss of profits. But they did not kill our dream. Prosecutors attacked our innovations. But failure is part of creating future worlds. And now more than ever we must innovate.  For fifteen years I worked 20 hour days, 7 days a week, often living and sleeping in the office. I never took a sick day. I never took a vacation away from work. I know how to give all I have in me to a mission. Now that drive is ignited by the pain of having been ripped from my babies, and the love of my life, in the fight to prove my innocence. By my promise to build a better world for them out of this.  I want to serve our country. I want to apply the thousand lessons burned into me. I want to help us lead as innovators in healthcare. I want to ensure the dream of affordable, accessible healthcare becomes true in a world of AI for all Americans.

@NHpilled @YoungPoaster 🙏🏼 thank you for your support. It means the world

@YoungPoaster @ElizabethHolmes 110%

Trump did at least one thing right.

@edgarderbyband @mojito_flow @cremieuxrecueil True

@mojito_flow @cremieuxrecueil Elizabeth Holmes @ElizabethHolmes made this technology and big pharma had her silenced by getting the government to lock her up because they hate to see women have power.

I tried a rapid, at-home blood test and got back results very quickly. I'm very impressed! But, the results are all highly discrepant from what I got after a recent physical with a standard blood draw. Now I'm tempted to go and get *another* set of tests done.

@TheGregYang We should talk about this part 🤍

Ah, finally a diagnosis! But wait a second—we’re not quite there yet, because all of these named conditions are triggered or caused by other, more specific, agents: mold toxicity, Lyme disease (with its coinfections), chronic viral infections, other infectious diseases (Chlamydia, Mycoplasma), dental diseases, and more. This may sound like a lot, and it is, but here’s the good news—all of these conditions can be diagnosed and treated. There is real hope that we can get to the bottom of your illness and get you back on the road to healing—and this goes for all our patients!

I love this preface to The Sensitive Patient's Healing Guide by Neil Nathan -- sounds just all too familiar: Imagine that you were once a very healthy young person, just completing graduate school and starting your dream job. You’re in great shape; after running cross-country in high school and playing on the soccer team, you recently completed your second marathon. You have a flourishing relationship with a bright, kind, lovely person, and marriage seems just around the corner. You feel really good about your life and what you have accomplished, and you’re excited to see what lies ahead. Then you move into an older home, hoping to fix it up and make it a great place for your spouse and perhaps a child or two. There’s a mild smell of mildew in the basement, but it’s probably nothing, so you ignore it as an unimportant detail in your world. As you train for your third marathon, however, you find yourself inexplicably short of breath by the fifth mile, which is both surprising and annoying, as is the unusual feeling of sore and achy muscles and fatigue that lasts into the next day, which has never happened before. Initially, you don’t pay much attention to this; everyone has an off day from time to time, so you take a day off to rest up. When you run again the next day you find yourself tired, achy, and short of breath by the third mile, and it takes two days to recover. This is weird—what’s going on? Ahh, probably just a hiccup, maybe a bug of some kind, and it will go away soon. At work, usually able to multitask easily with a sharp and active mind, you find yourself having trouble focusing on the tasks at hand; you forget a client’s name midsentence, and can’t seem to get motivated to complete your assigned workload. You find yourself making excuses to avoid some social outings with your partner because, honestly, you’re too tired to enjoy them. Your partner notices, and feels a little frustrated, but this is going to go away soon, right? Over the next few weeks, running becomes even more difficult. You become a bit short of breath even climbing the stairs. You come home from work exhausted, knowing you haven’t been able to complete your work in a timely fashion. You find yourself ordering food in, since you don’t have the energy to cook. Even with your increasingly poor appetite, you have gained several pounds—but maybe that’s just because you haven’t been as active as usual. Getting to sleep has become increasingly difficult, and you wake up feeling unrefreshed and not at all ready to face the day. It’s too hard to even think about going for a short run, which is odd because you loved being active and how great it felt while you were running. You’re starting to feel a bit depressed about how work and other activities are losing their meaning—it’s become a chore to just get up and shower and get through work. For no reason you can discern, you are becoming more and more anxious about everything. You become more moody; you get angry and irritable when you know you shouldn’t. All sorts of worries begin to intrude into your thoughts: Perhaps you’ll get fired because you aren’t performing up to snuff. Perhaps your partner will get frustrated with how you’re interacting and leave you. The slightest stress makes you unusually antsy, and at night you sometimes wake up with your heart beating hard and fast, sweating—your first panic attack of many yet to come.

@beffjezos Tell me about it.

It's tough being a Cassandra

The closest I have felt to God has never been on a summit. It has been in the valley. Cold, broken, asking for help.

@pyginapithon Yes

@ElizabethHolmes Are you back?

I know the feeling.

@GenieveDawkins x.com/i/status/20579… This one's for you

@JackScarizzy I think you stopped being funny.

@ElizabethHolmes why did you unfollow me? Asking for a friend(I am the friend)

🤍 to all my haters. You inspire me every day

@ygorz01 Never, Never, Never Give Up

@ElizabethHolmes The emotional flatness has set in, now more than ever to keep going

As a patient, you have a right to access your medical information. If a doctor, hospital, or other health care setting has blocked access to your medical record or test results, you should let HHS know and report it through the @ONC_HealthIT's Report Information Blocking Portal at healthit.gov/report-info-bl… Your voice is important as HHS cracks down on health information blocking.

@TrudoJo @LilithDatura @BioAnkh84 It's a weird world and there is no map to navigate

@LilithDatura @BioAnkh84 @ElizabethHolmes People like her are navigating an entirely different world than us

@BowTiedMarmott @tjparker

My 5yo would like to be a “supervisor and inventor”. Wonder where he got that from.
