My Mom just sent me this one. I think we should all take action immediately.
Number of physicians in the US: 700,000
Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year: 120,000.
Accidental deaths per physician: 0.171 (U.S. Dept. of Health)
Number of gun owners in the US: 80,000,000.
Number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups): 1,500.
Accidental deaths per gun owner: 0.0000188
Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.
Not everyone has a gun, but everyone has at least one doctor.
Please alert your friends to this alarming situation.
Congress must ban doctors before this gets out of hand.
As a Public Health measure, the statistics on lawyers were withheld
for fear that the shock could cause people to seek medical help.
