Everyone gets a free complete scan once a year.

No more misdiagnosing serious illnesses as hangnails or low opium or testosterone levels!!

First diagnosis is perfect and no time and money wasted, nor useless treatments for the wrong damn problem, repeatedly.

I'll bet you it's cost effective, as well.

Working on a tricorder now.
Until then, scan we must.

See ya.
