They screwed up my mom, they told her she had gall stones, 2 days later we rushed her in because her appendix burst, shes 71, she survived against all odds. No, she still doesn't have gall stones.

Let's see the key word is accidental.....the murder rate for doctors/physicians is actually even higher than that, much higher. For eg. in EU they euthanize thousands daily coming here soon. Now misdiagnoses happen all the time, I'll give you a very painful example...doctors misdiagnosed my dad he was 79yo. and they said he had developed diabetes at 79yo. but it wasn't diabetes it was a tumor at the edge of the pancreas and bile duct but it was too late we were treating diabetes not cancer................so here is bit of free medical advice, if you have an older individual exhibiting diabetes.....do a scan of the liver pancreas bile duct etc.........check for cancers....

Sadly, the politcal puppets will milk this for all it's worth and keep real stats, well out of sight.

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.

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 .0000188.

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.

This means you are over 9,000 times more likely to be killed by a doctor as by a gun owner!!!

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, we withheld the statistics on lawyers

for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention!
