SURVEY: WHERE ARE YOUR ORGANS?

A new survey of 2,000 adults from British company Pall Mall Medical finds many people are unable to identify key metrics for monitoring their overall health. Researchers asked residents in the United Kingdom questions about personal health, and quizzed them on whether they could spot and identify different organs:
– Only 37% are very confident they can name their own blood type.
– Only 24% know what their BMI (body mass index) is.
– Only 63% can identify the heart and the brain.
– Only 52% can identify the reproductive organs.
– Only 22% could pinpoint the gall bladder.
– Only 20% know where the spleen is.
* It’s not important that I know where the spleen is; it’s important that the doctor knows where the spleen is.
* Only 37% can identify the brain. Or get it to learn stuff.
* Do they have the “Operation” game in England? Can they identify the Funny Bone? The Spare Ribs? The Bread Basket? The Wrenched Ankle?
* Something tells me that pretty much everybody can identify the reproductive organs, eventually.
