You remember those "12-lead" ECGs where there was only actually 1 lead,
which you moved from position to position across the chest while you changed
channel on the machine, recording a few seconds of strip each time? Five
minutes later you had a long strip of all 12 leads, with one end so far from
the other it was a challenge to discern any pattern. Folks these days don't
know they're born.
Then again, they didn't have 98% targets to worry about either...
