[MMC24]

Doctors Think about this:

(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.

(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are120,000.

(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.

Guns Now think about this:

(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.

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 public safety at large, I withheld the statistics on lawyers
for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention!

Yipes. I know it is supposed to be funny.

But the heros in our lives are M.D.'s.

I certainly wouldn't be here 'nor would our daughter Helene, if it weren't for wonderful Doctors.

Have you kissed a doctor today?

Trust a nurse before you trust a doctor.

Nurses have all the brains and common sense!!

Nurses are great too. I like both nurses and doctors. Yes. :pepper2:
