Doctors:
(A) The number of doctors in the U.S. is 700,000
(B) Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year are 120,000
(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 17.14% (Statistics courtesy of the U.S.Dept of Health & Human Services )
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
(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is
0.001875% (Statistics courtesy of the FBI )
So statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.
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!!! Remember, guns don't kill people, doctors do.
NOTE: Out of concern for public welfare, I have withheld statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention.
GREAT post.
my mother, a physician and gunner, will find it a hoot!
