[Trip_Wire (RIP)]

Doctors:

******(B) Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year are 120,000
******(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 17.14%

Guns:
******(A) The number of gun owners in the US 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 0.001875% *

So statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners. Yes, I said 9,000 times more dangerous!

So remember, guns don't kill people, doctors do.

SCARY 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 the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention.

Okay, Trip_wire....
what are the stats of a trauma surgeon with a gun.....just ask the Team Sergeant, the odds switch to my favor!!!!!!!

Sadly, true stats about docs. Gun owners are alot safer to party with, play with, socialize with than going to a doc professionally with a medical problem. I should have listened to the TS and become a gun dealer and just married a doc who doesn't practice.
