Let's Hear It For "Doctor Control"
By Chuck Baldwin

My friend Derry Brownfield recently carried an article in his
newsletter written by Nathan Tabor for News Max.com. It bears
repeating.

"According to statistics provided by the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services, there is an interesting correlation between
accidental deaths caused by guns and those caused by doctors.
There are 700,000 physicians in the U.S. that cause 120,000
accidental deaths each year. Accidental death per physician is
0.171 percent. There are 80 million gun owners in the U.S.
responsible for 1,500 accidental gun deaths per year for a
percentage of accidental deaths per gun owner of 0.0000188.
Doctors are 9,000 times more dangerous to the public health than
gun owners."

With such statistics, one would think that there would be an
avalanche of politicians and social commentators clamoring for
"doctor control." After all, since public health and safety are the
paramount issues today, it stands to reason that this glaring
loophole must be corrected. Therefore, Congress should quickly
introduce strict "doctor control" laws to avert disaster!

So, where are our safety minded friends? Do they not care that
thousands of potential doctor deaths are hanging in the balance?
Where is their compassion and sense of moral obligation?

Furthermore, should we not crack down on the doctor
manufacturers? After all, it is not just the doctor, it is the doctor
manufacturer that is equally culpable. Therefore, we need to see
serious legislation that would allow medical schools to be held
liable for any and all deaths caused by a doctor.

Beyond that, we need to affix stiff taxes on doctor tools and
equipment.  After all, when a doctor inflicts harm, he is always
"loaded" with "high capacity" scalpels, needles, and electronic
equipment. Truly, no doctor needs more than 10 "rounds" of
medicine. Obviously, any cylinder which is capable of greater
capacity should be immediately banned!

Therefore, I am calling on all concerned citizens to begin
petitioning their respective members of Congress. Tell them you
want strict "doctor control" laws implemented immediately! Tell
them you especially want Congress to do something about "assault
doctors." Those are doctors that pose no extra risk but look
menacing. They must be removed from hospitals and clinics with
all haste!

If we act quickly and decisively, we might be able to save America
from a terrible fate. Let's hear it for "doctor control."
