Guns Vs Doctors

PHYSICIANS:

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 & Human Services)

GUNS:

a. The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000.
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 0.000188.

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 that the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention.

Re: Guns Vs Doctors

I have a doctor.

But it's not registered.

I showed it to my wife and made sure she knew how to use it. I'd hate to think that ever becomes necessary, but it's only safe to be prepared for the worst.

I have multiple doctors, but only for collection purposes. Some of them (like the ones who advocated "balancing my internal mucuses through bleeding") are real vintage!

Re: Guns Vs Doctors

The Constitution doesn't expressly give you the right to a doctor. Who needs one anyway? I never get sick.

Re: Guns Vs Doctors

we've already banned using or trading doctors at "trade shows" and "swaps" so let's just go one step further.

I'm on day 3 of my 7 day waiting period before I can even get my doctor.

Re: Guns Vs Doctors

Nope, HMO
AND they'll only pay 80% AFTER I meet the deductible but BEFORE I see a specialist IF I haven't used everything in my spending account regardless of the fact that for years I've paid into a service that I haven't used and they've done nothing but make money off of me. As long as I don't go out of their network.

man I wish I had my gun ...
