Effective January 1 this hospital will no longer provide security. Each charge nurse will be issued a .38 caliber revolver and 12 rounds of ammunition. An additional 12 rounds will be stored in the pharmacy. In addition to routine nursing duties, Charge Nurses will rotate the patrolling of the hospital grounds. A bicycle and helmet will be provided for patrolling the park areas.
In light of the similarity of monitoring equipment, ICU will now take over the security surveillance duties. The unit secretary will be responsible for watching cardio and security monitors as well as continuing previous secretarial duties.
Food service will be discontinued. Patients wishing to be fed will need to let their families know to bring something, or may make arrangements with Subway, Domino's, etc., before meal time. Coin-operated telephones will be available in the patient rooms for more...

Think About This:

A. The number of physicians in the US is 700, 000.

B. Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year is 120, 000.

C. Accidental deaths per physician is 0. 171. (US Dept. of Health & Human Services)

Then think about this:

A. The number of gun owners in the US 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.

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

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets out of hand. As a public health measure I have withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear that the shock could cause people to seek medical attention.
