(7,044 posts)Deal with it. It's a scientific fact. Hate on woo all you want. And defend Poo till the cows come home. It changes nothing, scientifically or otherwise. You poo fanciers are living a delusion. Poo is far more dangerous to your health. Get a grip.
The top five causes of death in the United States, in order, are tobacco, alcohol, medical malpractice, traffic and firearms. According to JAMA, doctors kill more people than auto accidents and guns. I don't see "woo" in that list.
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 17.1%.
Ugly, but true about poo.
