i thought you might enjoy this. :p <br /><br />Number of physicians in the US: 700,000.<br />Accidental deaths caused by Doctors per year: 120,000.<br /><br />Accidental deaths per physician: 0.171<br />(U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services)<br /><br />Number of gun owners in the US: 80,000,000.<br />Number of accidental gun deaths per year: 1,500.<br />Accidental deaths per gun owner: 0.0000188<br />Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.<br /><br />FACT: Not everyone has a gun, but everyone has at least one Doctor.<br /><br />Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets out of hand.<br /><br />As a Public Health Measure, I have withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear that the shock might cause people to seek medical aid!<br /> ;) hope you liked it

Bob VT,<br /><br />I was in the same boat. Thank God he just retired from medical practice. Whew! My chances for survival just went WAY up.
