Did you know?

(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

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)

🍺 The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500.

☕ 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!

False dichotomy a gun is not a sentient entity and so cannot accidentally kill people, a doctor is and can
You are only counting accidental deaths by fire arms users no one is legally a professional fire arms user, therefore the comparable amount of professional fire arms users compared to the amount of professional doctors is 700,000 : 0 which of course is going to mean Doctors kill more people through negligence or accident than professional gun users.
Comparing victims of guns and medical personable is a slightly more fair comparison.
On average 1378440 people in the USA die from fire arms every year, not counting those who survive being shot.
Which is 0.42% of the total population
the percentage of the total population deaths by medial negligence (according to your figures) is 0.0036%
The actual number of licenced physicians in the USA is 985,026 (0.021) deaths per doctor per annum

Thanks Len. I knew that I would have a sharp mind correct the information supplied. I'll pass it on.
