​

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

(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians
per year are
120,000
(C) Accidental deaths per physician is

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
.0000188

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 9,000 times more likely to be killed by a doctor as by 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,
We withheld the statistics on
lawyers

for fear the shock would cause​

people to panic and seek medical attention.

Medical mistakes are rampant in this country. Also, if you want to get sick just spend a little time in the hospital.

Rep inbound. That is priceless. The saddest part is that I know no one who has ever died from a gunshot wound. I lost my father due to a doctor's f*ck up.
