A little statistacal tongue and cheeck. I'm not sure of the quality of the stats but it was funny just the same.


Doctors:
(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is
700,000

(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are
120,000 (1 out of 6 doctors has an accidental death per year?)

(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.
