Doctor’s Are 3,000 Times More Deadly Than Guns

You may have heard the “Doctors versus Guns” joke before. Despite it being a “joke”, it should be taken seriously. The original joke had somewhat fictional statistics, but here are actual statistics. They are drawn from several different years:

Doctors vs. Guns

Doctors:

  • The number of physicians in the U.S. in 1995 was roughly 625,000
  • The number of deaths induced inadvertently by a physician or surgeon or by medical treatment or diagnostic procedures in the US annually is 784,000
  • Resulting estimate of inadvertant deaths per physician per year is 1.25. That means the average doctor will accidentally kill roughly 1.25 people each year.

Guns:

  • The percent of Americans with a gun in their home in 1995 was estimated to be 35%. Of 263 million people in 1995, that makes 92 million with a firearm at home. It is not certain how accurate this figure really is.
  • In 1995, the number of total firearm-related deaths was 36,000.
  • The number of deaths per person with a gun at home (accidental or otherwise) is then 0.000391. Though just because you live in a house with a gun deos not mean you are its owner.

As the joke goes, the semi-logical conclusion would be:

Statistically, “doctors” are approximately 3,000 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 immediately. We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!
