Noteworthy Statistics

[PKRWUD]

Note the following two sets of statistics:

#1
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 & HumanÊ Services)

#2
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 A DOCTOR.

NOTE: Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets out of hand. In the interest of public health, I have withheld the statistics on lawyers, for fear that the shock could cause people to seek risky medical attention.

Food for thought.



Take care,
