: Which is more dangerous, a gun owner or your doctor? : Arthur March 13, 2003, 02:29:01 AM I found this on the web. Some interesting stats.
"STOP THE DANGER!!! BAN DOCTORS TODAY! CALL YOU CONGRESSMAN! 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 & Human Services) 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 threat. We must ban doctors before this gets out of hand. I have withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear that the shock could cause people to seek medical aid." ;) :D ;D : Re:Which is more dangerous, a gun owner or your doctor? : Luke Robinson March 13, 2003, 06:04:56 AM WOW!! So what if your doctor is a gun owner?!! :o :o :o
SELAH!! That info is quite a coincidence! Just last week my doctor, Dr. Finkelstein, came over for chicken, and after we finished, he took a tongue depressor and chunked it in to a major artery! I died of course... : Re:Which is more dangerous, a gun owner or your doctor? : al Hartman March 13, 2003, 06:37:30 AM Luke, You laugh! ...and so do i !! But, having worked in a hospital (a GOOD hospital) for about nine years, i have seen some VERY scary mistakes made by doctors and other hospital associates. i have seen enough unnecessary deaths and prolonged suffering to last forever. While my faith in the Lord enables me to anticipate death without fear, i would prefer to be, and to see my loved ones, at a firing range than in a hospital-- it's safer. al : Re:Which is more dangerous, a gun owner or your doctor? : Arthur March 13, 2003, 09:42:27 PM Yikes! :o
