The number of physicians in the US is 700,000.
- Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year is 120,000.
- Accidental deaths per physician, is 0.171. (US Dept. of Health & Human Services)

Now think about this: -

The number of gun owners in the US is 80,000,000.
– The number of accidental gun deaths per year (all ages) is 1,500.
– The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .0000188.

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

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 out of hand.

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