I haven't checked these statistics but this is pretty funny.

Think about this for a while:
a. The number of physicians in the US is 700,000.
b. Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year is 120,000.
c. Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.(US Dept. of Health & Human Services)

Then think about this:
a. The number of gun owners in the US is 80,000,000.
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 .0000188.




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

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 out of hand. As a public health measure I have withheld the statistics on LAWYERS for fear that the shock could cause people to seek medical attention.

I'm curious on the stats on lawyers...

 

[HighSchoolJock]

what about doctors with guns how dangerous are they

I'm curious on the stats on lawyers...

they're even more deadly, but only if you don't pay your bills.

The problem is that it leaves out the intentional deaths...

on both sides

This one talked too much.

Oh sure...

This will start a whole new anti-doctor movement. Then Chuck Heston will become president of the AMA. We will see bumper stickers like "You will get my doctor when you pry him from my cold dead fingers" and "Doctors don't kill...people with doctors do". We will have a 72 hour waiting period to get a doctor. Just what we don't need, another issue to divide the American people.

Personally, I keep a doctor in my closet and feel much safer for it. Sure he occasionally writes the bad perscription, but I've been trained to properly handle him. It's the illegal street doctors that we need to fear.

 

[Starfish]

OH nO! You're right.

Next I'll see a...

"My President is Dr. Heston" bumper sticker.

Ain't that a scarey thought?

Didn't anybody notice that I broke my vow?


THAT SPEAKS LOUDLY about who I am!

A fibber?
A flabber?

Maybe, but I go by stoner a lot.

You made a vow? Certainly not of chastity! Perhaps poverty? If so, can I have all your really good stuff? I need a new puter seeing as my ex is getting mine in the divorce.

Okay - now lets check out intentional deaths by guns verses intentional deaths caused by a physician and total number of deaths, then compare.

Yeah, I know the pro-gun arguments; I'm just being smart ass.
