1. The
number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.
2. Accidental deaths
caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.
3. Accidental deaths
per physician is 0.171.

Now think about this:
1. The number of gun
owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000.
2. The number of accidental
gun deaths per year (all age groups) is
1,500.
3. 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."
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. :-)
(and to all my doctor friends...lighten
up...it could be worse --you could be
a lawyer) ;-)
