Just Thinkin’

From today’s mail comes this little beauty: To wit:

FACTS TO PONDER:

Doctors:

(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is: 700,000.

(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are: 120,000. (Calculation) Accidental deaths per physician is: 0.171

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.

(Calculation) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is: .000188

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!!!!!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

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… >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

From the author of this blog:

Somehow I just don’t think I’m going to rush right out, buy a gun and shoot my doctor. I kinda’ like the young man.

All in fun.
