I am reading a fascinating book, Complications, by Dr Atul Gawande. It does delve into the issue of mistakes and malpractice in medicine. A good read.
FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT Almost everyone has at least one doctor. This means you are over 900 times more likely to be killed by a doctor as a gun owner!
Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!
