Below is an email I received, enjoy.
STATISTICALLY SPEAKING
MEDICAL DOCTORS
(A) The number of doctors in the U.S. is 700,000.
(B) Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year are 120,000.
(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 17.14%
Statistics courtesy of the U.S. Dept of Health & Human Services
=====================================================
GUNS
(A)The number of gun owners in the U.S. 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 0.001875%.
Statistics courtesy of the FBI
==========================================
So statistically, medical 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 have withheld statistics on lawyers for
fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical
attention.
