Got this in an email the other day... What do you think?
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 U.S. Dept of Health 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.
(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is ..000188.
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 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 the public at large, I withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause
people to panic and seek medical attention!

Not going to lock it. It was a joke.
Those who have no sense of humor need to move along and quit trying to make this into something other than what it is. What is wrong with you people!?!! I should not have to say things like this! I know third grade school students who behave better.
If you find what I just said insulting, then maybe you need to take a long look at why you are posting here in the first place.

i got a laugh from the email.

I thought it was funny, especially the last part. :D
As far as being robbed by or with a Dr., I feel I have been robbed that way every year about this time when I calculate my medical costs for the previous tax year for my return. So there. :neener:
-
It's a joke. But I just got a bill from an x-ray of my hands (yes they charged for each one). Ouch. :rolleyes:

Makes me think of that old George Carlin bit
Somewhere in this country is the WORST doctor. Has to be true statistically, and someone has an appointment to see him tomorrow. It could be you.

Not to argue with skuzzy, but my deleted post was made in jest too... I thought the smiley and the quotation marks indicated that :(

You quoted a reponse that did not belong in this thread to begin with. It is no better than making the bad post that gets quoted.

I know first grade students who behave better than your third grade students!
Dont make me go get them.

I have a distant cousin who was once a next door neighbor to a doctor, so I take fierce umbrage at this :angel:

Wow... I didn't realize responding to a post was as bad as making the post...

Apparently guns cannot be discussed, joked about, or even mentioned on this board either.

Please, go get them and bring them here!
