[Elecraft] FW: MD's gotta go... :>)

1) What does this have to do with elecraft, or ham radio?

2) Given that this forum is international in membership, and as such many people here have no vested interest in this subject, why post this one sided, irrelevant post here

3) Political rants have no place in an international hobby like ours

4) There are many forums where this sort of 'stuff' is encouraged. Go there if you want to post about this

5) I am sure I talk for many hams, to say, take this elsewhere.

a 'kosher ham'

  Medical 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 from 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.


(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 from FBI

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

So, statistically, 
MD's are over 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Remember... 'Guns don't kill people, physicians 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 MD than by a gun owner!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat.

We must ban MD's 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!
