Joke: Thought some of you would enjoy this...

[Debman]

"Gun Control?
a. The number of physicians in the United States 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
& Human Services)

THINK ABOUT THIS:

a. The number of gun owners in the US is 80,000,000 (yes, eighty- 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 .0000188.

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

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS A DOCTOR.

Alert your friends to this 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 attention."

Sounds like the same advice some of you are giving regarding illegals aliens...

But you hardly ever see doctors who kill several people in one single scalpel incident, do you?

Again, what does this NRA propaganda have to do with immigration?

Why you guys have to be so serious. As the topic said: It is just a JOKE, I thought some of you would enjoy.
And this is where I got the JOKE:

Word Humor

Didn't mean to make any statements or upset anyone. If I knew a JOKE would upset you guys, I wouldn't have posted it.
Sorry for stepping on some toes.

I wouldn't worry about stepping on some toes, I thought it was funny, according to Pasha's little face he wasn't upset about it and he IS a doctor Afterall, you said in the subject line it was a joke.

[Pasha Patel]

Hi still,

I wouldn't be offended even if he didn't write as a joke... coz there are ignorant doctors in this world and in this country also .... Sure there are very few of them ... not many actually... but accidental death is not possible by doc in most cases...sure exceptions are there ... usually it takes a long course before dying in most of the cases .... Doctors are human too and they can make mistakes as well... they are not some super computer... but it wouldn't harm patients that much in most cases....

Anyway ... that joke was good ..whoever wants to make little fun over doctors ... here is the link ... there are some cool medical jokes ....
