Consider these statistics.
I've been wondering about the "CRISIS" regarding the number of gun owners and the accidental deaths they cause and stuff like that.
Some things to consider: (all stats are rounded)
Number of physicians in the US: 700,000.
Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year: 120,000.
Accidental deaths per physician.... 0.171
(U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services)
Number of gun owners in the US: 80,000,000.
Number of accidental gun deaths per year: 1,500.
Accidental deaths per gun owner: 0.0000188
Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times
more dangerous than gun owners.
FACT: Not everyone has a gun, but almost everyone has at least 1 Doctor."
Please alert your friends to this alarming threat.
We must ban doctors before this gets out of hand.
As a Public Health Measure I have withheld the statistics
on Lawyers for fear that the shock could cause people to
seek medical attention and I don't want to be responsible for their risk of death.
