How many ECGs can you sell vs how many other snake-oil products? :)

A lot, probably. You could sell people on the idea that it should be a part of your yearly health screening.

"And if you really care about your health you should do them every 3 months to catch problems early!"

or some such.

    When I moved to Houston just after law school, I found a doctor and made an appointment to get a routine physical exam; I hadn't had one since getting out of the Navy three years earlier.

    Doctor: So what brings you here?

    Me: A triennial physical exam.

    Doctor (incredulously): You get a physical exam three times a year?

    Me: No ....

    This will work short-term sure, but after about lets say, 3 years of no adverse findings, the average person will not take it seriously anymore.

      Huh? I get a blood panel every year and 90% of the things it looks for are normal year after year. But there is always 1 or 2 things flagged that I need to pay attention to.

      An ECG if it was just part of the normal yearly panel of things that get looked at I don't think ppl will stop doing it just because it doesn't find something right away
