Being connected to an electro cardio-gram machine

I should state that I have no current heart conditions so the act of being connected to the electro cardio-gram (ecg) machine in this video is purely to gain a rough physical perspective of what a patient with an actual condition goes through.  Therefore I do not at this stage understand or could fathom the emotional feelings of a patient going through a similar process with a heart related condition.  This I can try to understand from current and ex-patients though interview techniques.

This video should also relay to the viewer the time and effort it requires to connect a patient to an ecg machine.

The machine presented in this video is not the usual standard to be used on a day to day basis as it is part of a study investigating the effects of reflexology, so it will be necessary to repeat this process.

Also you will notice 'chilled out' music in the background which was to provide ambience to the study I was a part of.

I aim to interview those who operate these machines on a daily business and patients who benefit from the results the machine produces.
