My former internist asked me whether there is a firearm in my home. I responded “none of your business, but do you know that asccording to the CDC and the NIH, medical malpractice kills over 100,000 people a year in the United States?” I could see the steam building in his face, but before he could respond, I added that “from a purely statisical viewpoint, seems to me that I am at least ten times safer at home with a gun, than I am at a doctor’s office or a hospital.”
Great response!
Best reply I’ve seen yet to inquisition by doctor.
