Doctors - More Dangerous Than Guns

Doctors:
(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 Guns:
(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. Yes, that is 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 .000188.
Statistics courtesy of F.B.I.

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 immediatly.
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.

This is humor - though true"

I’m eventually going to be a doctor and I will shortly be a gun owner.  Where does that put me? =)

Hi,

I’m maintainer for the Home In Zion blog, and my author wanted to know if she could reproduce this in her blog, crediting and linking to you.

Would that be all right?

I am not the original Author.  The contents of this post were provided in an anonymous e-mail.  As far as I am concerned, you may reproduce it to your hearts content wink

Generally speaking, blogs quote and link other blogs routinely.  Normally this is done without asking permission (as long as a link is provided), though, I do appreciate your request!
