Doctors vs Guns

You might get a chuckle out of these statistics.

(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.

Services.

Now think about this .... Guns,

(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is:
80,000,000. (Yes, that's80 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: 0.000188.

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, I have
withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock
would cause people to panic and seek medical
attention.
