Doctors vs Gun Owners - 07-07-2011, 09:31 AM


Doctors vs. Gun Owners


Doctors

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

(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 and Human Services.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Now think about this:

Guns

(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 84,000,000. (Yes, that's 84 million)

(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, averages 1,387

(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .000188. Statistics courtesy of FBI


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,300 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.
This means you are over 900 times more likely to be killed by a doctor as a gun owner!!!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

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!

For doctors you have (B) as a number however for guns you have it as an average.... What is the average for Doctors or give a range for both. unless the (B) for doctors is an average then just ignore this.
