Now let’s get really controversial. Which is more dangerous — your doctor or your gun?
Let’s start off with two statistics from the US Department of Health and Human Services.
- Statistic Number One: There are about 700 thousand doctors in the United States.
- Statistic Number Two: 120 thousand accidental deaths are caused by physicians per year.
When we apply a little math, we come up with an average of 0.171 accidental deaths per physician.
Now, let’s consider two other facts, this time from the FBI:
- Statistic Number Three: There are 80 million gun owners in the United States.
- Statistic Number Four: The number of accidental gun deaths per year — all ages included — is 1,500.
When we whip out our calculator we find an average of 0.0000188 accidental deaths per gun owner.
Conclusion: Statistics show doctors are about nine thousand times more dangerous than gun owners. Or to put it another way — guns don’t kill people, doctors do.
Well, not everyone has a gun, but nearly everybody has at least one doctor. Here’s the hard pill to swallow — you are over nine thousand times more likely to be killed by a doctor than by a gun owner. Pass it on.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! RLMAO!!!
Impeccable logic.
Guns don’t kill people, DOCTORS DO!
Just look at all of the prescription drug abuse going on.
But what kills more people, abusing prescription drugs or using them as prescribed?
“Here’s the hard pill to swallow — you are over nine thousand times more likely to be killed by a doctor than by a gun owner.”
Ahh….the truth hurts. Time to break out more of the painkillers. lol
