Original Note:
The claim that you're six times more likely to be killed by a doctor than a gun in America is not supported by credible statistical evidence. Claims of medical errors being a leading cause of death in the U.S. are based on a highly problematic bit of data extrapolation. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/917696 https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/critical-thinking-health/medical-error-not-third-leading-cause-death https://www.cdc.gov/injury/wisqars/fatal/index.html
