Regardless of whether physicians are skilled or not at helping their patients interpret the results of a proprietary test, the point I was making is that if the test produces an unacceptably high number of false positives then this would result in an unnecessary increase in the number of times physicians have to actually have those conversations.

If physicians are forced to waste huge amounts of time and effort to console an influx of patients who have been wrongly told they have some terrible disease, this is going to reduce the amount of time they have available to work with patients with actual terrible diseases.

If other medical device/diagnostic makers have to comply with the law, so should 23andme.
