FACTS TO PONDER:
(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

The third highest cause of death in both the US and the UK is iatrogenesis, which basically means killed by the medical profession. To be fair this includes a variety of things; wrong drugs prescribed, incorrect dosages, hospital acquired infections, but a very scary statistic!

I agree 100%... They are giving out meds. that are not even needed. It is a money making racket! Don't get me wrong sometimes a doctor is the only answer, but know your own body, it will tell you when this is the case. I have many times used herbs and vitamins and got better results with no side affects! Check the internet results for this and visit your nearest health food store. Medicine side affects can be deadly!
