Doctors:

(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 7,000,000.

(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.

(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.1713

Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept. of Health Services

Guns:

(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. Yes, that
is

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 F.B.I.

Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 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 immediately.

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 the shock would cause people to panic and seek
medical

attention.

Six years ago, a doctor almost killed me and another saved my life, so I'm even to date. Just remember, 49% of the doctors in this country graduated in the bottom half of their classes.
