Interesting statistics...

[TheDave]

...I got this from a friend of mine.

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 Human Services.)

GUNS:

(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. (Yes, that is 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 0.000188.
MATH: .171/.000188 = 909 Statistically, doctors are approximately 900 times more dangerous than gun owners.

Remember, "Guns don't kill people, doctors do."

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 the fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention.

Thinking about the validity of that doctor killing statistic made me keekle.



One suggestion; please remember that 68% of statistics are made up on the spot.
