Dentists vs Guns vs Doctors

Guns v Drs.



(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 have withheld the statistics on
lawyers
for fear the shock would cause
people to panic and seek medical attention.

Geeeeeeeeeeeez I just got it in an email and got a chuckle off it and thought others might as well.

Leave it to F-chat uptight twits to take a silly post like that seriously and get their panties in a wad.

So, since Hurricanes are hitting we need to end all humor and entertainment? Do you support cancelling the NFL season, major league baseball playoffs and all new movie releases scheduled during Hurricane season?

Perhaps you can buy a sense of humor.

In Scientology brainwashing sessions.

 

STAY IN THE P/R AREA...YOUR GARBLEY GOOK STATEMENTS ARE WELL RECEIVED THERE....

 

I could do without the baseball and movies that's cool.

I'll post wherever I want.



Terry

 

NAME CALLING IS A FERRARI CHAT RULE, AND A NO-NO.. WE WILL SEE YOU IN COURT..

 

I didnt call you a name. I merely made an observation based on your actions.

I post a joke, you attack me.... and I am the bad guy. Good luck with that.




Terry

 

"YOUR A JERK"


I didnt call you a name. I merely made an observation based on your actions.

COULD OF FOOLED ME................

 

Apparantly thats not too difficult to do.



Terry

 

"Apparantly"

HOW WAS SPELLING CLASS??

LATER........I HAVE WORK TO DO.............

BRUCE

 

I thought it was funny! I love what you can do with statistics.
"We must ban doctors
before this gets completely out of hand!!!!! " LOL

Of course I always liked the one about banning water also:

Dihydrogen monoxide:
· is also known as hydroxl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.
· contributes to the "greenhouse effect."
· may cause severe burns.
· contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
· accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
· may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
· has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.

Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:
· as an industrial solvent and coolant.
· in nuclear power plants.
· in the production of styrofoam.
· as a fire retardant.
· in many forms of cruel animal research.
· in the distribution of pesticides.
· as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.

The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its "importance to the economic health of this nation."

It goes on for a full page. I just clipped some parts out of it.

 

Spelling class? What spelling class? You assume I attended school....

I have work as well... The sparring was more fun than the original joke!

Terry

Why don't you fill out your profile. You have a bad attitude! No one called you any names.

Don't worry about this guy he is just pissed because P&R has moved into the subscriber section of F-chat and he won't pony up the money to help Rob out.

 

come on guys - it's friday! Lighten up - obviously T intended no disrespect.

 

Most all of BRUCE'S replies are tongue and cheek. Your calling him a jerk was a real ****** thing to do. Is that the type of person you are? 99% of us love Bruce like a brother. I guess we all have to put up with 1% or less of the members that are the REAL JERKS!

 

We may as well Cancel the NHL season again while we're at it!

 

I used to remember something called "NHL", but I thought they got rid of it a couple years back?

 

Good Idea. Hey Terry can you take care of this when you have the chance. I hate to interrupt you when you are working and calling people names. Just when you get the moment please. Thanks

 

plus he called you a "uptight twit" don't forget that

You preach about being uptight but if you weren't so "uptight" then you would have blown off Bruce's comment, right ?

so who's the most "uptight twit" here ?? huh ?

Besides, you failed to mention the, "How many lives Doctors saved this year" stats, my father being one last month

 

Terry, I'm with you. All you were doing was trying to slip in a little humor. Some guys on here take themselves way too seriously, particularly certain MD's and lawyers.

 

MDs taking themselves seriously, surely not

 

So lets see. According to those stats 1 in 6 docs accidentally kills a pt every year. Uh...yeah. Thats sounds about right...

So then, an average doc is expected to accidentally kill some one every six years, or about 8 people during his working life span. Yep. Gee...thats sounds about right...

So, 120,000 folks are accidentally killed each year by docs... Well then, seems like in 100 years most of the us citizens should be dead...

I'll keep track...

You have to love statistics...
