apples and oranges. and mangos and pineapples and peaches.

I dont have a doctor. i do have the privelege (sp?) of working with more than a few: peds residents, physicians assistants (PA's), neonatal nurse practitioners (NNP's) neonatology fellows, and neonatology attending physicians. i have seen some questionable decisions made regarding patient care.

but i dont think you can compare that with dying from either your own or someone else's carelessness regarding gun safety.

I see the similarity. Both die from negligence. But there is an obvious agenda to try and take guns. Prosecuting doctors makes health care more expensive. Taking guns gives sheeple a false sense of security and accomplishment.

So its easier to try and get guns so thats what people will do. All things being equal humans almost always do whats easiest. Especially nowadays.

i agree. would it better to die from a careless bullet or a careless person with years of education and training worth $$$$ ? of course not either way youre dead! but a negligent hunter/shooter is not the same as a negligent doc. thats all i'm sayin.

But there is an obvious agenda to try and take guns. Prosecuting doctors makes health care more expensive.

yes there is. and yes it does.
i just thought the DOCTORS KILL PEOPLE thing was funny.
cancer kills people too. and heart disease and diabetes and the list goes on.....

Both die from negligence.

Could just be that is the percentage of patients the doc's can't stand. Ever been to the state fair?

I think the fair is where that Australian Doctor got his degree. Did you hear about that one? The guy had his Medical license removed in Oregon for killing some people so he moved to Australia and killed some more. I wasnt callin you out Blue just spoutin off.
