Statistics to ponder

STATISTICS TO PONDER

(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.

(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are
120,000. (Calculation) 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.
(Yes, that's 80 million..)

(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age
groups, is 1,500. (Calculation) The number of accidental
deaths per gun owner is .000188. Statistics courtesy of FBI

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

So, statistically, doctors are a little over 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 withheld the statistics
on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and
seek medical attention.
