Goodness gracious me!

What's all this fuss about anatomy? I'm not too bothered that so few people seem to know where their heart is, that's what we have doctors for after all. But is this story actually a criticism of educational standards? Or is it an implicit encouragement for folks to do their own self-diagnosis? Personally I learned at an early age that I had a rubber band connecting my knee and ankle. This valuable information has stayed with me ever since...
