As a patient, I'd worry that the "at least two of our expert researchers will validate test results to rule out any errors" would get steered towards the less credentialed folks - the Eagle Scout philosophy major rather than the one or two MDs on the list of staff.

I'd have more comments, but the site appears to have gone for now...

Figures that it would crash. We're working on it.

While your site is down, let me make one OT comment: I nearly had a heart attack when I saw that the username was 'rms'. Unsurprisingly I suppose, you're not that rms.

The Hacker News user rms has joked that his username means "Rupert Murdoch sucks," if I remember correctly.
