Only about 1 in 4 Americans know the warning signs of a heart

attack and what to do first, according to a new government report. That’s a decline in knowledge since the last survey in 2001, which showed nearly 1 in 3 to be well informed. Is this something every American should know? Are you surprised by the findings? Any ideas on how to educate the public?

Answer #1

Why would everyone need to know the warning signs? I mean it is hardly relevant to someone in their 20s or 30s… Sure, as you get older you should probably be paying attention to it…

Answer #2

Add that to the list:

Know the warning signs of: heart attack stroke heat exhaustion cancer liver failure tumors anaphylactic shock hypothermia anorexia alzheimers

The list goes on…

I think people are just too overwhelmed with “needing” to know everything.
