Which Are More Dangerous, Doctors Or Gun Owners?
Doctors vs Gun Owners- Which Is More Likely To Kill You?
Statistics-
Doctors
(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 and Human Services.
Gun Owners
A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000.
(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 withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention.
...no offense to Dr. Paul intended, for he doesn't kill his patients, just delivers them.
Doctors! Check out the
Doctors!
Check out the deaths by malpratice and perscription drugs and then the death by firearms

Gun owners would kill more people too ....
...if every day they were forced to shoot an apple off of someone's head!
Think about it.
And unless you understand the meaning behind that analogy, you don't understand the practice of medicine well enough to criticize it, compare it to gun ownership or anything else.
(By the way, I agree that people have an inalienable right to bear arms. Even if gun owners killed 50 million people a year. Let's concentrate on the basics and not get caught up in taking snipes at each other.)
Signed,
A Doctor

In all fairness to doctors...
and please understand that I do not go to any doctor unless I feel half dead...they can only use what they have been taught. BIG PHARMA has too much say as to what is taught in medical school...
Raw garlic, Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar, Extra-Virgin Coconut Oil, Kelp (I am trying to get off thyroid medication), gray or pink sea salt (has vitamins and minerals), and Rejuvenate (high RNA superfood), organic cod liver oil... are all foods/nutrition I try to ingest daily. I am rarely ill.

Chia Seeds
Check out chia seeds. I think you'll be impressed with their nutritional contents.
Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica L) (say “chee-ah”) were first used as food as early as 3500 B.C. The ancient Aztec civilization used Chia seed to provide them with radiant health, endurance, and boundless energy.
The seeds have twice the protein of any other seed or grain, five times the calcium of milk, boron which is trace mineral that helps transfer calcium into your bones, omega 3 and omega 6 which are essential oils for the body. They also have a very long list of other valuable nutrients.
The Aztecs prized this grain more highly than gold and they even used it as medicine. The soluble fiber in the gel forms a wall between carbohydrates and the body, releasing them slowly into the body.
You're right about PHARMA...
a money grubbing cartel of hypocrites that uses their monopolistic powers to save their members from the "unethical" practice of giving cheap pens to doctors but spends billions of dollars advertising their drugs on TV to a public that has absolutely no way of judging the relative dangers.

The Drunk and The "Doctor" ....
There's the old story (doubt there's anyone here who would remember the story first hand) about the old guy--called geezers now (or worse)-- who goes to the "doctor" and is advised he would soon die if he doesn't stop drinking--to which the geezer replies that there are one helluva lot more old drunks (now called alcoholics) around than old doctors.

My Grandfather, an alcoholic who drank a fifth a day, used to say that.
He died at 53.

I tried writing an English paper similiarly based on this years
ago but with the argument that people kill people -- not guns, and my instructor flunked it for my POSITION on the issue and quoting the NRA!! :-(
In need of an argument? Visit room 12!

I vote Doctors
I vote Doctors only because they are human beings. Guns are inanimate objects. Guns don't load themselves and kill people. A human being has to do that.
Ipso facto, doctors are more dangerous.

Well...
You ought to include non-accidental deaths per gun owner.
Just my two cents.
don't forget about...

Give me some garlic, Braggs
Give me some garlic, Braggs ACV and virgin coconut oil and I can heal anything (well, except apathy).
What is Braggs ACV?
What is Braggs ACV?
Apple Cider Vinegar
Braggs is a company that sells among other things organic apple cider vinegar.
"When governments fear the people there is liberty. When the people fear the government there is tyranny."
-Thomas Jefferson
Oh Ok
Thanks. I no doubt believe in the power of vinegar. It's good for a whole lot of things.
That's what I was telling Mike
that I give to my chickens :D
I add whole garlic cloves before they are of laying age and it keeps them healthy.
When they are laying...just a 1/8-1/4 cup in one gallon of water does wonders for their health and keeps them parasite free, makes their feathers shine, keeps them healthy.
I tried to take the stuff myself..and I know it's good for you...kills all sorts of nasties...but I just can't stomach the stuff. Made me ill and nauseated. Suggestions?

ACV & basket
I love it and drink it straight. I have heard of a few things people say helps them stomach it though. Mix it half and half with olive oil and put it on a salad, cucumbers or tomatoes. My wife mixes it with apple cider - yuck! She loves it. Also try water and honey to help get it down.
By the way, got the valentines basket for my wife and she loved it! I hadn't seen her that happy about a gift in a long time. Thanks.
thanks for the tip...

GO TO BED!!!!!
My mother and my uncle . . . .
were hurried to their graves.
One thru chemotherapy, and the other from antibiotics.
Poison, burn and cut . . . so called modern medicine.
I don't even have aspirin in my house. Only cannabis and water.
And never forget, “Humans, despite our artistic pretensions, our sophistication and many accomplishments, owe the fact of our existence to a six-inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains.”
We stay as clear
of Doctors as we can. It must be life threatening before will go. (otherwise we just handle it) It seems everyone we know that is always at a doctor's office, is always sick with something new every time we talk to them and wind up back in the doctor's office again and again.
Homeopathy and alternative medicine deserves far more credit than they get.
I had a Kidney infection once. Without any antibiotics I had it gone in 3 days. I took Alka Seltzer three times a day and drank lots of water, cranberry juice, and my usual beer. The kidney discomfort was gone almost immediately within a half hour after the first dose. I continued the Alka Seltzer, water and cranberry juice consumption for about 3 days and it never returned.
Someone else told me about it and I must say it worked well in that instance.
I don't like doctors and
I don't like doctors and haven't been to one in 17 years (and I'm only 26).
My precautionary medicine diet consists of Cod Liver Oil, Coconut water, grapes, liquorice, fresh squeezed orange juice, tomatoes, cabbage, cauliflower and a 3 mile run every day to keep the digestion going. Intake all of these items every day and I haven't missed a day due to illness since I had my appendix removed when I was 9 (was prior to me taking care of myself).
I took up this routine from my father who at 56 works 13 hours, 7 days a week, 365 days a year in his own building contracting company and hasn't been sick at home since I can remember.
Agree.
We stay as far away from doctors offices as possible. I have brought my family though: kidney infections, pink eye, stomach virus, salmonella (the peterpan peanut butter thing nearly killed my two oldest children), etc.
You get sick in this house, I got you covered. lol

What did you do for the salmonella?
I think I never get it because of my beer and hot sauce consumption. I don't mean a little bit of wimpy Red Hot or Tabasco, I use "After Death" which is a better tasting equivalent of Dave's Insanity Sauce (which I also like), and put it on like ketchup. I firmly believe almost NOTHING grows in hot sauce. I never refridgerate mine and have used it even after its color has gone from red to brown and it is fine. Maybe it's just me, but it never bothered me.
I do know vinegar (from drinking pickle juice in my past) will undoubtedly flush your intestines thoroughly within a few minutes, lol. NEVER drink it while far from home, you WON'T make it.
Well we didn't know
at the time that it was salmonella. We didn't realize and put the pieces together until months later. We still have the jar and never took it back to the store or threw it away like they suggested. If they ever get a lawsuit together...well..you get the picture.
I gave them colloidal silver, chicken broth, garlic, flushed them with liquids, probiotics, etc.
My oldest child got over it pretty quickly but my next to oldest was sick for a month. He missed so many days of school (when he was in regular school) that he almost missed too many. They kept telling me that the stomach flu was going around and that's what we guessed that it was according to the nurse at the school. He lost so much weight. but eventually, I pumped him up with enough stuff that he got better.
