Just received this from a buddy that sends me way too much B/S
Guns and Doctors? Number of gun owners in the U.S.................80,000,000 Number of accidental gun deaths per year (all agegroups)......1,500 Accidental deaths per gun owner..................0.0000188 Number of physicians in the U.S..................700,000 Number of accidental deaths caused by physicians per year (all age groups).................120,000 Accidental deaths per physician..................0.171 (U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services)
Statistically, Doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.
FACT: Not everyone has a gun, but everyone has at least one doctor.
Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets out of hand. (As a public health measure, statistics on lawyers were withheld for fear that the shock could cause people to seek medical aid.)
