STATISTICS TO PONDER

(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is
     700,000.

( Accidental and negligent deaths caused by Physicians
     per year are 120,000.

   (Calculation) Accidental-Negligent 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..)

( The number of accidental gun deaths
     per year, all age groups, is 1,500.

(Calculation) The number of accidental deaths
     per gun owner is .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."



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 withheld the statistics on lawyers
for fear the shock would cause People to panic and seek
medical attention.
