Physicians vs Gun Owners
Physicians
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. Get this
Eighty Million and growing faster than doctors!
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 0.000188.
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 have withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear
the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention.)
