Doctor or gun owner which is more dangerous????
« on: August 29, 2008, 06:19:03 PM »
I thought you might all get a kick out of this..

FACTS TO PONDER:

(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's 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

Statistics courtesy of FBI

So, statistically, doctors are approximately

9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

Remember, 'Guns don't kill people, Doctors do.'

BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS ONE DOCTOR!

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
