Point to Ponder

[Admin]

Doctors

1. The number of doctors in Canada is 700,000
2. Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year
are 120,000
3. Accidental deaths per physician is 17.14%

Human Services

Guns:

1. The number of guns owned in Canada is
80,000,000 (yes that's 80 million)
2. The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all
age groups, is 1,500
3. The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is
0.001875%

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.

Out of concern for the public at large, I have withheld statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention. Then we would be in real trouble.
