WE'RE BACK!! I hope you all enjoy the video. Keep in mind, this story is huge, so I had to leave out a lot of more technical details. I wanted to focus on Elizabeth herself and the real people she effected with her tomfoolery, rather than the financial/scientific details. There are tons of documentaries on that made by people who actually know what they're talking about lmao.
You neglected to mention the reason why the trial is in August of this year because she, as many people predicted, timed her pregnancy in time to delay the trial and use her status as a mother of a newborn to stay out of jail.
Why are people so freaked out about that? You make videos and put yourself out there and try to get views and promote your brand. Then you get recognized and freak out? I once went to a convention that is for a pretty small community and there were many faces from YT there. I ran into this one lady on the convention floor and just said that I enjoyed her YT channel. After the convention she made a video telling about how it freaked her out. What the heck? It's a small community to begin with and you go to a convention and then get freaked out about someone recognizing you? Ridiculous.
@@DrogoBaggins987 The problem isn't people that are fans, the problem is people that don't get it and then find us. It's sort of like the "Hey don't look at my drawing!" or "Don't read my journal". The idea of someone who doesn't understand people's art and then has to have it explained especially when its something like unfiction or ARG's because it's such an obscure thing is scary to people, and well this is not always the case sometimes people are just shy hope that answers you're rhetorical question -Matt
@@Laurasnewnightmare It wasn't a rhetorical question. It's because I think it's ridiculous (at least my experience with it was ridiculous) that I honestly want to understand that behavior. I can see that if I went to the grocery store and recognized someone who I only know from YT or other social media that it might freak them out to be recognized because they would have no way to know if I was a crazy stalker. But a convention is a totally different thing. I've met several people irl after just talking to them online and had some strange experiences so I decided to avoid doing that going forward. Anyway, thanks for your reply. Have a good day.
@@DrogoBaggins987 that is fair, thanks for putting it into perspective most people in youtube comments aren't the best with disagreements without turning into just yelling at each other lol have a nice whenever youre reading this
I got diagnosed with a chronic illness a couple years ago. If I got diagnosed then a couple months later told that the tests were wrong, omg I couldn’t even imagine the mental turmoil that the people who got blood tests from her went through
HAD A FULLBLOWN PSYCHOLOGICAL MELTDOWN AT THE WALL OF PICREW ICONS, THANKS it hits in such a highly specific Modern Internet Hell[tm] way, it's right up there with The Flag That Must Not Be Spoken Of in your slasher ranking video and the sanrio medical aesthetic in the hazzard video
Medicine in the US is a joke. I work the IT side of medicine and it’s clear too that many of our providers and staff have no idea what they are doing. Also recently lost my dad to heart disease that was treatable had they been more proactive, so it’s personal now. Btw nice touch at the end, burst out laughing!
I don’t really mind Elizabeth using a voice which is deeper than might be natural for her. A lot of transpeople (especially trans women) go through vocal training to learn how to manually adjust their vocal patterns to get the voice they want. So I can’t really make fun of anyone for working to get a voice they prefer. Everything else about Elizabeth Holmes is horrible though.
I agree for the most part. I'm a woman and I have had to alter the way I act and speak at work to be taken seriously, which is something a lot of people experience. It's only weird in her situation in conjunction with all of the other characteristics of her personality and her actions.
@@Aster_Risk you are just talking and acting like a professional. There is a vast difference in speaking in a different tone from totally changing your voice. I cannot trust anybody who speak to me in a phoney voice as it insults my intelligence as I usually know when they are faking it (Holmes' voice often sound strained, cracked and inconsistent), and insults me as a person because they think i am that shallow so they need to change their voice while speaking to me.
Though I personally live in a country with a large functioning public health system, that offers free medicine and treatment, the whole "late diagnosis" issue has personally acosted me multiple people that I knew. The doctors denied or were too slow to give them access to diagnosis, so many of them didn´t even get to know what was even the problem before they were late stage, which of course meant that in a few too many cases treatment at that stage could only postpone death. Can only imagine how its like over in the USA, where the money means all...
I keep forgetting who Elizabeth Holmes is and usually have to google her to remember. Also hi Alan, what's up buddy? Looking a little under the weather.
Oh! I basically have to "fake" my voice almost 24-7, because it hurts to talk with relaxed vocal cords. I think it was due to something that happened when I had tonsilectomy. Nothing to do directly with her, but it's a thing that is a thing.
I would die on the spot if one of my coworkers revealed they knew about my online presence in any capacity. I hope this woman realizes what a terrible person she is for doing that to so many people tho. Not only is it evil, but it's also highly unethical.
I don’t know if this had happened yet when you filmed this but one of her lead scientists at Theranos committed suicide because he was under extreme pressure to testify against Theranos and tell the truth against his coworkers under a court mandate. He was actually working to try to make Theranos work for years but it obviously was near impossible. His wife said he had been getting more stressed through the years working for Theranos and constantly got ignored by Elizabeth when he would tell her it was unethical to continue selling a product that doesn’t work. His name was Dr Ian Gibbons and it’s such a horrible position he was put in. Genuinely I hate Elizabeth Holmes so much because after it all, she didn’t even care about her employees- after he died his wife tried contacting Elizabeth and SHE JUST REQUESTED ALL COMPANY STUFF BACK FROM DR. GIBBONS AND THEN THREATENED LEGAL ACTION. 10/10 would throw her into a volcano
I just want to hear people talk about Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos all the time. The whole Theranos situation is so fascinating to me. I am particularly interested in the reactions toward her versus the many male CEOs or higher-ups that are just as corrupt or delusional. There's a lot of misogyny involved in the backlash she received.
For me I remember one time I was I think 19 or so and in the ER and for reference im non verbal (selective mutism) so I use my phone to communicate and the doctor when I was typing on my phone to communicate with her she tried to take my phone from me
I’m binge watching now. I knew you had to have ADHD too. Rarely do I find someone who describes things to me in a way that I can relate to! I love it! Edit: I want to add that people faking test results in science has halted real progress in such a profound way. Take the study which claimed a certain protein caused Alzheimer’s and the people who tried for years and invested tons of money for a cure using ultrasound but failed because they were trying to remove an incorrect protein and they didn’t understand why it wasn’t working. It’s because the protein they were targeting was incorrect to begin with and this had caused us to just recently end up back in the same place, trying to use ultrasound to remove the correct protein finally. This this study is just now finally starting with the correct protein in mind so we now know the correct shape and how we can possibly break up the protein correctly. There is great hope and encouraging results with other studies using the same deep ultrasound to cure tremors in people. Research is looking good for this to also possibly work for addiction as well (which would rock because I’ve fought with addiction for many years). It’s just shit. So many people have suffered due to false research results. The guys who supposedly found the first protein they claimed to cause Alzheimer’s just wanted to see their names go down in history for some reason even if it wasn’t legit and to other people’s detriment even.
A little bit off topic but could you make a video just talking about Leatherface? I just felt so validated when you said you loved him so much and watching someone like you openly loving him so much would be amazing alright bye tysm ily
1:39 i'm depressed, mad, upset, surprised and proud of myself for knowing, and using those picrew avater makers at LEAST once sometimes more then once.
I get similar Google suggestions using Firefox on a PC. I don't think Google suggestions/searches can be affected by the type of computer you use anyhow. Google probably has their own algorithm though, for promoting what they want. Also, as long as I'm being that guy, I might as well be that guy: it's "indyted".
