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.
© The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 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!!!!!

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.

I would like to ban HMO's that absolutely insist that you use non english speaking doctors. I'm sure they're perfectly fine physicians, I just have a hard time communicating with them. I once spent 3 or 4 minutes wondering why the doctor kept insistently asking me about my cornea's. (thats the way I was hearing it) She finally pointed to my crotch and said cornea, cornea....DING! Uh....yea Doc, ok, got it. No I don't have a hernia.

You neglect the fact that more people die young because they don't go to doctors, while more young people die because they get in shoot outs with those who own guns than those who don't.

You can't converse using facts without considering their converse...which is usually verse if not a vise.

Comparing doctors with guns is like comparing nurses with baseball bats and forgetting that apples are like oranges.

w2ilp (I Like Physicians)....because they are better than witch doctors. #I don't care which doctors they are better than. # The days of digital proctology are numbered....There is also no longer a need for digitally feeling your prostate...It can now be done with an analog fiber instead of a digital finger.
Don't ban doctors who get out of hand...Just tell them to keep their hands out unless there is surgery involved.

Now try the same statistical sleight of hand with deliberate deaths.

Deliberate deaths caused by doctors = ? Must be some, any executions by lethal injection?

Deliberate gun deaths = ? (lots)

As a famous American said, there are lies, damned lies and statistics!
