Doctors:

(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.

(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.

(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.

(Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health Human Services.)


Now think about this:

Guns:

(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. Yes, that is
80 million.

(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is
1,500.

(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .000188.

Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous
than gun owners.

Remember, "Guns don't kill people, doctors do."

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE
DOCTOR.

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat.We must ban
doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!

* Out of concern for the public at large, I have withheld the
statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and
seek medical attention.

 

That's it!! No more doctors for me - from now on it's guns only.

LOL! That is great, JLeigh. I'll have to send that to my brother-the-doctor. Hmmm, but he's a "gun nut" (i.e., a defender of the right of a man to protect himself and his family, ahem!). Now there's a paradox!

Ha, ha, let us know what he says, if you remember.

As I've pointed out before,

most people who die are under a doctor's care.

Ok, that was accidental gun deaths. What about deliberate ones? Are doctors still more dangerous? Then we have to figure in intentional deaths by doctors, a la Terri Schiavo and unborn babies... it's a statisical nightmare!
