My friend sent me this email. It's ridiculous. There is no way these stats are correct. Anyone else read this one?
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 are 0.171.
(Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept. of Health and Human
Services)
GUNS
(A) The number of guns owners in the U.S. is
80,000,000. Yes, that is 80 million.
(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all
ages groups, is 1500.
(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 EVERY AMERICAN HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST
EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.
Out of concern for the public at large, we have
withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock
would cause people to panic and seek medical
attention!
