Someone sent this to me I thought it was intresting<br /><br />Doctors <br /><br />a. The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000. <br /><br />b. Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000. <br /><br />c. Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171. <br /><br />(Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health &Human Services) <br /><br />Now think about this: Guns: <br /><br />a. The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. <br /><br />b. The number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups) is 1,500. <br /><br />c. The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.000188. <br /><br />Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than <br />gun owners. Remember, "Guns don't kill people, doctors do" <br /><br />FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR. <br /><br />Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors <br />before this gets completely out of hand! (Out of concern for the public at <br />large, I have withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would <br />cause people to panic and seek medical attention.)
Thanks for posting this. This is one of the nicest things about this forum, where eles can I find stuff like this??
