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 the 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,

We have withheld the statistics on


lawyers

for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek

medical attention

  1. My guess is that deliberate deaths by doctors is considerably lower than deliberate deaths by people with guns, though.

  7. Somebody waving a gun about usually means to kill somebody;  a doctor with a syringe usually means not to.  Angie
