frogtog Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 FACTS TO PONDER : (A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000. ( Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000. (Calculation) 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..) ( The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500. (Calculation) 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 Quote

Shad_Master Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Maybe you should get a doctor in your house for protection - is it legal to carry a concealed doctor? Quote

Super User FishTank Posted February 13, 2008 Super User Posted February 13, 2008 That's too funny.... Here are a few approx. figures to ponder from the US Census...... 300,000,000 US Population 51,000,000 Hospitalized with a Major Mental/Physical Illness 14,000,000 Suffer from Schiztophrenia or Dimmensia at Home 80,000,000 Age 0-10 and 85+ 2,000,000 Are in Jail 1,000,000 Are Blind That leaves about 150,000,000 to 200,000,000 from the age of 11-84 whom are able to have a gun. So if 80,000,000 own a gun that's about 1 out of every 2 people that are age 11-84 and are physically capable of holding a gun, have one. Quote
michbass Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 lol, Be nice to find a good doctor that you can trust. Its seems five different doctors five different opinions. Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted February 17, 2008 Super User Posted February 17, 2008 I work with new and old seasoned doctors every day. I work in a very large Trauma Center so we see the worst of the worst and I totally agree with the statistics. Don't trust one doctor. Always get a second or even a third opinion when it's something serious. Never trust an emergency room doctor with your primary care. Get a family doctor. Quote
Super User Sam Posted February 17, 2008 Super User Posted February 17, 2008 Frogtog, Great post. But what about automobiles and trucks? Look at the carnage and grief those products cause each year and there is not attempt to ban them or take them away from us. Keep those posts coming! Quote
