Let's Abolish all Medical Practice

The numbers speak for themselves - the medical profession is more dangerous to your health than firearms. (I'm being facetious of course, but the point of relative risk is one that requires careful and deliberate thought, and should not be influenced by the left wing media playing upon the emotions of a gullible and uninformed populace).
"Medical malpractice deaths in the U.S. are over 500 times higher than accidental gun deaths.
A Johns Hopkins University study covering eight years of data found there are at least 250,000 malpractice deaths in the U.S. annually. CNBC reports the Johns Hopkins University study presents malpractice deaths on the low end, since other studies show malpractice deaths exceeding 400,000 a year. https://journals.lww.com/journalpatientsafety/Fulltext/2013/09000/A_New,_Evidence_based_Estimate_of_Patient_Harms.2.aspx
On the other hand, accidental gun deaths hover around 500 a year.
For example, the Los Angeles Times reports there were 489 accidental gun deaths in 2015, making medical malpractice deaths over 500 times higher than deaths resulting from accidental firearm discharges.
The number of overall gun deaths in 2015—accidental, homicides, and suicides—was approximately 36,000, two-thirds of which were suicides. So 250,000 malpractice deaths is nearly seven times higher than gun deaths, even when counting intentional gun deaths.
In 2014, gun control groups were seizing on firearm-related child deaths as a way to push gun control. But Breitbart News reported that more children were accidentally k**led via fire and water than were k**led by firearms.
Gun scholar John Lott used Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) tables to show that 36 children under the age of ten were k**led in firearm-related accidents in 2010, while the number of children under the age of ten k**led in “unintentional fire/burn deaths” was 262, and the number k**led in “unintentional drowning” incidents was 609. This means the number children unintentionally k**led in fire-related deaths was over seven times higher than the number of children k**led in unintentional gun-related deaths, and the number of children k**led in unintentional drowning deaths was sixteen times higher than the number of children k**led in unintentional gun-related deaths."

I think that is a great idea since obama screwed it all up I see no other solution.
A few years ago Sarah Brady said stats showed gun deaths of children were sky rocketing. Though she did take the age one becomes an adult, 18 and change it to 26 to include most drug and gang related k*****gs. Nothing any lying greedy Democrat wouldn't do right?
