[lfjokes] Alarming Statistics

[Adam Shand]

From: Craig Fell <grendel at shmoo.com>

 From the U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services
   Number of physicians in the US:    700,000
   Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year:    120,000.
   Accidental deaths per physician:    0.171

 From unknown source
   Number of gun owners in the US:    80,000,000.
   Number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups):   1,500.
   Accidental deaths per gun  owner:    0.0000188

Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than
gun owners.

"FACT: Not everyone has a gun, but everyone has at least one Doctor."

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat.  We must ban doctors
before this gets out of hand.  As a Public Health Measure I have
withheld the statistics on Lawyers for fear that the shock could cause
people to seek medical aid.
