Stupid Doctors Should Shut Up About Guns.

I come from a family full of doctors, got two dermatologists, one general practitioner, one ophthalmologist and even a lung doctor. So we’re a regular “General Hospital” in my family. I know what it’s like to study 7 years of medical school, then postgraduate studies, then pay liability insurance, and then be told “you make too much money”.

But when “Grace-Ann Dinkins, a surgeon with the MemorialCare Health System, wishes legislators would consult trauma surgeons before casting votes about gun control.

“There are too many guns in our society,” she says, “and they often land in the wrong hands, like a school kid.”

I can only only say one thing: Shut the Hell Up! You think that because you can remove a bullet from a gangbanger you’re suddenly an expert on my right to keep and bear arms?

Do I come to your place of work and tell you how to do your job? Do you see me demanding free healthcare? You want to be like the German doctors that only make $50,000 a year?

Or how about this?

There are 700,000 physicians in the United States.
There are 120,000 accidental deaths in the United States caused by physicians every year, and the accidental death percentage per physician is 0.171.
There are 80 million gun owners in the United States.
There are 1,500 accidental deaths from guns every year (or 700 in the year 2000 according to the NRA), regardless of age group, and the accidental death percentage per gun owner is 0.0000188.

This means, the letter points out, that doctors are 9,000 times more deadly than gun owners.

Yet do you see me demanding Doctor Control? No, in fact, as a libertarian I don’t even believe a doctor should have to get a medical license. Seeing a doctor is an individual choice, I don’t think you can legislate against danger. When the FDA takes 7-years to approve a drug to “protect the public” the result is more people end up dying because they weren’t free to choose for themselves what drug they needed.

So enough with you ER bastards bitching about removing bullets from Bloods and Crips. That’s you job, dearies, you chose to work in the ER, you chose to take care of the scum of society and a few good people on occasion.

Unlike rare pro-gun doctors, most of you gun haters with a medical degree are simply ignorant people that read too much Newsweek and too little National Review. You’re misinformed, uninformed, and just like I’m not qualified to speak on trauma medicine, you’re not qualified to speak on gun control.

You want to control something? Control your own medical mistakes!
