Doctors VS. Gun Owners

[007]

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.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

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​

After you ban docs, I'm working on something to get rid of dihydrogen monoxide...

 

[Ravi]

I'm working on something to get rid of rightwing nuts.

I know I've slapped the liberals in the face with the kind of logic they can't dispute when the only thing they can muster in response is some lame ass sarcasm.

 

[editec]

That's hilarious.

No, I don't mean that in a negative way, I mean that's brilliant.

I'm FAR more fearful of death by iatrogenesus than by gunshot.

Any American who isn't a black man between the ages of 17 and 37 should be, too.

Just my luck I'll get a minor gunshot wound and die from malpractice.

That would have to be the ultimate irony... receive an acidental gun shot that wasn't life threatening, yet die from iatrogenesis. A great example of the facts in the OP.

Good luck, Ninja.

I heard they're evacuating some towns and neighborhoods because of the smoke.

If you figure it out, get rid of the left wing nuts as well. We could do without either

She would have to commit suicide if she got rid of left wing nut jobs.

And replace it with...

And on a serious note... I hope you're house is OK... I've been near big fires, and they're no damn fun.

Your logic leaves much to be desired. There are other variables to consider.
For one, doctors try to heal people. The patient is already sick.

The statistic is off patients KILLED by accidents numb nuts. As in the Doctor or nurse directly caused the death by some action they should not have done. Do keep up.

RGS... I know this m-kramer from a loooooong time ago on this board. If you can understand anything he says.... you're a better man than I am.

 

[editec]

Iatrogenesis is, according to some medical statistican, the 4th leading cuase of death in the USA.

Not sure about their methodology, of course, but I don't doubt, given the amount of health care that the average American seems to consume, that the number of malpracitice deaths in this nation is very high.

Hey, Pale Rider. I remember you. Regardless of your silly Obama caricature, get ready for him to be the next president. The nation is turning liberal – and it is about time.

Now that the "accident" argument has been removed from the gun-control crowd, next is the "saving only one lif, then it's worth it" argument.

I support gun rights every bit as much as you do, but calling that (hillarious mind you) opening post "logic" is the funniest damn thing I've heard in weeks.

Seriously, keep up the good work.
