(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.

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.

(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.000188.

Statistics courtesy of FBI


So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

Remember, "Guns don't kill people, doctors do." 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.

Ok, Firstly, what constitutes an "accidental death by a physician"??

Secondly, how many deaths are caused by guns in the US in general, not just the accidents, but all deaths. Then tell me how many deaths are caused by physicians in the US that weren't "accidental" - I'm sure you'll find the numbers swing the other way a significant amount!

"Caused"? That's a loaded term to use. Where's a link to your source?

I'm not sure if you're just trying to be funny to see if you can wind people up or if you really do think there's a problem.

The closer a person is to dying, the more likely it is that there'll be a doctor around.

I believe undertakers bury 100% of their clients. Now that's much more frightening :shock: !
