Statistics to Ponder
« on: January 31, 2006, 03:44:55 PM »
FACTS TO PONDER:
(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.

 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

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.

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


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
We'll all be someone else's PO some day.

Two things I've always wanted to do, own a 69 CB750 and drive the length of Route 66 in a red convertible '68 Mustang with a handgun in the glovebox (for protection only you understand). One down!!   :D
