A) The number of physicians in the US is 700,000
B) Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year is 120,000
C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171 (US. Dept. of Health and Human

Now, think about this:

B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups) is 1,500.
C) The number of accidental gun deaths per owner is 0000188. Statistically,
doctors are about 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.
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 out of hand.
In the interests of public safety, the statistics on lawyers have been
