Doctors vs. Gun Owners

Post by Jumptrout51 »

Doctors vs. Gun Owners


Doctors


(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is


700,000.


(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians


per year are


120,000.


(C) Accidental deaths per physician

is


0.171.


Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of

Health and 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.


(C) 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.

This means you are over 900 times more likely to be killed by a doctor as a gun owner!!!


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


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!

While we're playing with numbers and facts......................
1500 accidental gun-related deaths + 29000 intentional gun-related deaths = 30500 total gun-related deaths (per year)
So in other words, you are almost 20 times more likely to die as a result of gun violence than you are from a gun-accident.

700000 doctors in the US. 310911506 people in US. .022% of population are doctors. Roughly 16000 murders per year in US. If .022% of those murders were doctors, that's 3.52 doctor/murderers per year. (Let's round that up to 4)

120000 accidental doctor related deaths + 4 intentional doctor related deaths = 120004 total doctor related deaths (per year)
So in other words, if your doctor kills you, there's a 30000 times more likely chance that it was an accident rather than murder.

My Conclusion: Guns inspire violence and doctors, though well intentioned, are inept.

I've had a lot of doctors tell me "Son, you better start slowin' it down." - But, I've seen a lot more old drunks than I have old doctors, so I think I'm goin' to have another round! :beer: - Willie Nelson
