dangerous statistics

You just never can be sure of the situation that you
think you have a handle on!

Think about this:

Number of physicians in the U. S.: 700,000. Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year: 120,000

Accidental deaths per physician: 0.171 (U. S. Dept of Health & Human Services)

Number of gun owners in the U. S.: 80,000,000.

Number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups): 1,500.

Accidental deaths per gun owner: 0.0000188.

Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

FACT: Not everyone has a gun, but everyone has at least one doctor.

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets out of hand.

As a public health measure I have withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear that the shock could cause people to seek medical attention.
