Brian,

Who said that all of it was "surgery" ? You are the only one who used
that term. Some is misdiagnosis. Some is accidentally giving the wrong
medications. I'm sure there are other factors.

Number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups) = 1,500
Accidental deaths per gun owner = 0.0000188

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

That's great: You just proved that surgery is more dangerous than walking
down the street. I had no idea!
