OT: Things that make you go HHMMMM!
I just found this in my e-mail and thought I would share!
Where do people get all the time?
Guns and Doctors:
Doctors:
(A) The number of physicians in the US 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 US Dept. of
Health Human Services.

Now think about this:
Guns:
(A) The number of gun owners in the US
is
80,000,000.
(Yes, that's 80 million!)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
(B) 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 have withheld the statistics on
lawyers
for fear the shock would cause
people to panic and seek medical attention.
