Doctors -vs- Gun Owners Accidental Deaths

Take action now before it's too late!

I love statistics!


(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 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)

(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 .0000188

Statistics courtesy of the 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
than as by a gun owner!!!

Now if you have more than one doctor, you're just out of luck!!!

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, The statistics on
Lawyers has been withheld for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention!

Hospitals ain't too safe either. Wiki

A nosocomial infection, also known as a hospital-acquired infection or HAI, is an infection whose development is favoured by a hospital environment, such as one acquired by a patient during a hospital visit or one developing among hospital staff. Such infections include fungal and bacterial infections and are aggravated by the reduced resistance of individual patients.

In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated roughly 1.7 million hospital-associated infections, from all types of microorganisms, including bacteria, combined, cause or contribute to 99,000 deaths each year

while the info above may be true, you two guys are NOT rays of sunshine. :hatchet:

Needs more planning..........

im thinking doctors are sent by the man to bring us down.....we should fight the power.......ban them while theres still hope for this country......ruthless killers.....

Well, think of it as shining the light on facts.

How many hospitals in the United States?

Answer: According to the AHA there are approx 5,815 Registered Hospitals in the US.

Good kill ratio @ about 20 per day. Call MSNBC. That tickle up Chrissie's leg might be infectious.

The problem with the guns is not the accidental deaths but the intentionally committed deaths with guns.

Local rumor has it that a local hospital in this area is a great place to get a staph infection, a strain that is extremely difficult if not impossible to cure. Wife and I have an agreement, in the event of some medical emergency, under NO circumstances would we allow the other to be taken to this local hospital. Reminds me of that saying about the roach motel, "you check in but you don't check out". nonono

Lobotomy for nuts would be a good gun control law. Call Harry.

I remember years ago I watched a movie about Francis Farmer, played by Jessica Lange. I think the title was " The postman aways rings twice" Back in the day I guess it wasn't politically correct for a woman to be outspoken, the movie depicted her to be. This was when i first learned about Lobotomys. Since then I have always said before they let hardened thugs out of prison, this procedure should be done. It sure would cure a lot of our problems. That, or start caning those azzes in teenage years, it would have stopped me from doing what I did, though dad died and the azz killings stopped...whew

I think that is part of the problem now, the younger generations have not and do not receive enough "whippings" as some of us older farts/geezers/what ever you want to call us generation. Granted, what we got for our some of our mis-deeds would be considered child abuse now, and maybe it was/was not, the punishment I got from my parents made me a better person and provided me with the ability to tell right from wrong (in most cases anyways). Teaching the young people the difference between right and wrong and the consequences of wrong would go a long ways in making this country a better and safer place for all. It ain't all about "me" and how "I" feel, getting depressed about something does not give anyone the right to harm anyone else.:twocents

LMAO, I bett a $100.00 she drinks a bottle of Gin everyday as well:yikes

I remember going to visit family members in the hospital as a kid. A heavy odor of bleach and alcohol. Most everything was made of cotton. To cut some cost, most everything is paper fiber now. Very little odor in the air.
When my youngest was released from the hospital (mid 80s) for burns and grafts, his bath had 1 pint of 90% alcohol and 2 tablespoons of bleach. His laundry had 1 quart of 90% alcohol and 1/4 cup of bleach added to it. No clue of how it's being treated these days.

Lady Gaga uses bleach mixed with alum. heard it from billbob.

Yall leave billbob alone, he's my friend

I have healthy amounts of doubt for all these "statistics" and stories, and I try to verify each one. While I haven't located the origin of this one yet I did find this scary website.

espically the ones commited by drug dealers.....violent repeat offenders........and the insane psychopaths....who tend to prey on the weak, or comit their cowardly acts where they know they will not encounter an armed individual...........I have an idea, lets all practice our 2A rights......fight crime, shoot back.......to think that a government that can not run any program with out screwing it up, can not figure out how to stop spending more money than it has, and is full of individuals who make careers by doindg said things has the answer in the form of gun control is a very naive and simplistic train of thought......on a side note all these people who intentionally kill with a firearm are unfazed by laws against those actions, call it a hunch, but I bet they will ignore any attempt at gun control also......I wish common sense was not a dying thing in our beautiful nation

"Dying" implies currently in the process........dead, gone and in the ground would be much more accurate.

I believe we should ban the "designated hitter". That should fix it.

Nah, theres a handful who still practice the dying art of common sense......look at post by folks like cane pole, Don G, pox, and a few others......there out there, but its a dying art for sure

Point well-taken, and agreed. I was speaking in generalities of the powers that be, since they dictate how we live. No, there's plenty of common sense, it's just in the folks who are on the short end of the stick (us) who don't have a say in how we live.

If a man feeds you, he can also tell you what to do.

This was proven in November.

Sure is a big gathering around the table.

I catch my own fish. Others, like EB, believe the "man" is Jesus.
