Guns vs. Doctors

[TGO David]

Saw this on XDTalk and thought it was funny enough to repost here...

Doctors vs. Guns

Doctors:

• The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000
  
• Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000
  
• Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171

Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health Human Services.

Guns:

• The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000
  
• The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500
  
• The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .000188.

Statistics courtesy of F.B.I.

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 immediatly. We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!

Note: Out of concern for the public at large, the statistics on lawyers have been withheld for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention

Shamelessly stolen from the MP-Pistol forums:

Doctors:

(A) The number of doctors in the US is 700,000

( Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year are 120,000

© Accidental deaths per physician is 17.14%. Statistics courtesy of US Dept of Health & Human Services

Guns:

(A) The number of gun owners in the US is 80,000,000(yes, that's 80 Million).

( The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500.

© The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.001875%.

Statistics courtesy of the 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!!!

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.

So when can we start pushing to ban doctors...

Hillary is going to take care of that for us. Within a couple of years of socialized medicine, there won't be a doctor in town....
