A company offering medical services that pose "immediate jeopardy to patient health and safety" deserves scrutiny. If they knew that their results weren't good and didn't act on that information, why should they ever be trusted in the future?


This illustrates my point. How does holding a drop of someone's blood in a lab pose "immediate" jeopardy to patients? They're in the trial phase, right? These tests are not yet being used to determine actual medical outcomes. What's wrong with trial and error in the trial phase? It's like PCI compliance. Who cares if your company doesn't pass PCI certification the first time (no one? You're given a long amount of time to fix PCI compliance issues).
