Here's a Rational thought......:o)
Physicians vs. Gun Owners
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.

Now think about this:
Guns:
a. The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000.
b. The number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups) is1,500.
c. 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.
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.)
Stay Safe..........don't get sick !

That figure of 120,000 is probably a pretty bad over-estimation, including people who were very sick in the first place, allergic drug reactions, errors of other healthcare personnel besides docs, etc. I know docs haven't helped matters when they actually commit malpractice or when their official organizations embrace BS liberal and socialist political positions, but they're not all that bad.
