Band Doctors not guns!

[leech~~]

Got this from a buddy. It maybe a bunch of cr@p, but it's kind of funny!

Doctors

(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is

700,000.

( Accidental deaths caused by Physicians

per year are

120,000.

© Accidental deaths per physician

is

0.171

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.

© The number of accidental deaths

per gun owner

is

..0000188

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

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!

that's interesting. lawyers get rich from the the actions of doctors or alleged actions. one thing doctors and guns have in commen. most people need both for one reason or another. good luck.

Some lawyers. Some lawyers protect your rights as a gun owner. Some lawyers prosecute criminals. Don't lump them all together.

i was only refering to ambulance chasers. it is true that some lawyers do get rich from medical lawsuits. some of those lawsuits are needed also. of course there are many different needs for lawyers. i had one for a divorce once. some get rich doing that also. some just earn enough to get by. i dont have anything against lawyers, it's their job, and some are just more successful than others. good luck.

good stuff but If I'm shot with a gun I want a doctor to look at me and not a lawyer doctor first probably lawyer second
