Guns vs. Doctors
Number of physicians in the US: 700,000
Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year: 120,000
Accidental deaths per physician: 0:171 (U.S. Dept of Health & Human Services)
Number of gun owners in the US: 80,000,000
Number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups): 1,500
Accidental deaths per gun owner: 0:0000188
Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.
"FACT: Not everyone has a gun, but everyone has at least one Doctor"
Please alert your friends to this alarming threat.
We must ban Doctors before this gets out of hand.
As a Public Health Measure, I have withheld the statistic on Lawyers for fear that the shock could cause people to seek medical aid. :-)
