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.
(Calculation) Accidental deaths per physician 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.
(Calculation) 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."

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 withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention.

Lol so what happens to us lawyers who are suing the doctors who made the fatal mistakes?!

And out of sheer curiosity, is the 80 million the number of guns total, or the number of gun owners?

I know it says owners but that seems like a lot.

Good parents can be better doctors that licensed physicians. That's probably an unknown and very important fact~!
