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
