Doctors:

(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 the U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services.


Gun Owners:

(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 .000188.

Statistics courtesy of the 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 900 times more likely to be killed by a doctor as 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 CS public, I withheld the statistics on Lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention!

It would be interesting to see if this is a local event?Perhaps we need to include the numbers of how many afghan and iraqi civilians were killed accidentally by american guns.

My dad was a gun owner and a doctor... after seeing all his personal records, he apparently went against the average and didn't kill anyone with either means. dunno

Then again there are many ways of killing people with malpractice, some from the very lives we are supposed to live in a polluted world. Why just pick on the doctors? confused

Ladders kill ten times as many people than guns, which are designed to kill so maybe we need better (and more) guns to even up the odds.
