General public lacks basic medical knowledge
A questionnaire survey, published in the open access journal BMC Medicine 2007 "Do citizens have minimum medical knowledge (MMK) ? - a survey" showed Swiss citizens did not know more than a third of the MMK and people with medical experience ( personal or professional) are only slightly better informed suggesting that there is a consistent lack of knowledge in the general public about the typical signs and risk factors of serious clinical conditions.
