#1 Appears to me prescription drug abuse is killing far more Americans than firearms. Perhaps these people should concern themselves with something a little more relevant to their profession and reality.

#2 IIRC CDC found about 100,000 people a year die in hospitals from mistakes and mistreatment. Gun deaths (to include suicides) are about a quarter of that. Clean thy own house first.

#3 iatrogenic death is a much bigger problem and the number is probably massively understated.

#6 From a December, 2016 article in Stat News about something else:

The AMA still has more clout — and spends far more on lobbying — than the scores of medical specialty societies and splinter groups that sort doctors by political leanings. But it counts fewer than 25 percent of practicing physicians as members, down from 75 percent in the 1950s.

The same article pointed out that the AMA supported ObamaCare, which most doctors have suffered from — some of whom, our own Steve White included, having realized up front how devastating to the profession and the patients it would be.

No doubt more membership will be lost as a result of this vote — one wonders if it has joined the stable of George Soros-funded organizations...

#7 The third leading cause of death in the US is Medical mistakes, the first two are Heart Disease and Cancer.

But they won't sanction themselves, or hang abortionists.
