What about you?

I have published in the peer reviewed scientific literature
that you are so fond of. Have you? I'll tell you what,
why don't we match publication by publication.


Gosh Billy, I guess you're living proof a licensed physician can be
pretty well blinded by the light of selfish self interests....HUH?

Apparently his sole paying gig is doing autopsies. Even a lowly medical
examiner can tell when they're already dead. Keeps him from personally
killing anyone at least.

Number of physicians in the US = 700,000. Accidental deaths caused by
physicians per year = 120,000. Accidental deaths per physician = 0.171
(U.S. Dept. of Health Human Services)

Number of gun owners in the US = 80,000,000. Number of accidental gun
deaths per year (all age groups) = 1,500. Accidental deaths per gun
owner = 0.0000188 (U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms)

Therefore, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than
gun owners.
