I received an email titled “Dangerous Doctors” I thought it was cute! Enjoy!
(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 are 0.171.

Now think about these gun facts:
(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 0.000188.

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!
