Flash! Guns And Doctors

[Hugh Gaugler]

The following came across my desk today. Thought it might interest you. I didn't check the stats, but it sounds about right.

If you want to be healthy, stay away from your MD.

Remember: It takes only one person or one idea to change your life.

FACTS TO PONDER:

(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 .171 (17.1%)

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..)

(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 (0.0188%)

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!!!!!

Note: 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.
