Statistics DONT LIE!!!

[NMStickFlinger3]

Accidental Statistics


(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. 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 U.S. Dept. of *Health and 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*
* .0000188*
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.
This means you are over 9,000 times more likely to be killed by a doctor
as by a gun owner!


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,
We withheld the statistics on lawyers
For fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention!!!

Agreed

No, Guns dont kill people, Dads with teenaged daughters kill people. I learned that here on the green screen so it must be true.

Love it! I am afraid that my young sons' ability to own a gun will be different than mine.

Wonder how bad it'll be when the government starts writing their checks

Good post and point. Doctors are much more dangerous than gun owners. Oh and BTW, you can lie with statistics. It all depends on how you use them. Just look at how the 2 political parties spin unemployment numbers.
