True Statistics?
A friend sent me this. I don't know how true it is but thought it was worth a laugh. Apologies to any doctors who might read this. <BR> <BR>Doctors: <BR>A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000. <BR>B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000. <BR>C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171. <BR> <BR>Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health Human services and is a conservative number. <BR> <BR>Now think about this: <BR> <BR>Guns: <BR>A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. Yes, that is 80 million. <BR>B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500. <BR>C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.0000188. <BR> <BR>Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners. <BR> <BR>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. <BR>We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!!! <BR> <BR>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.
