Medical Misadventure: Immigration

Bathtubs Dept: As I said, disturbing. And there's more. Also in 2006, nine Canadians were killed in accidents involving kayaks or canoes. Three were killed by dogs. Six by hot tap water. Thirty-two drowned in pools. Fifty-four were killed by falls from ladders, while three more died after falling from trees. One person was killed by contact with a thorny plant. Another died after being stung by an unspecified "nonvenomous insect." Medical "misadventure" claimed the lives of 18 more, according to Montreal Gazette. These figures mean the number of Canadians killed in 2006 by sloppy doctors, for example, was a staggering 18 times greater than the number of Canadians killed by terrorists. Well, sort of. The actual number of Canadians killed by terrorists in 2006 was zero. As it is most years. And 18 times zero is zero. But just to keep the math simple, let's pretend that one Canadian was killed by terrorists. Now think of all the hype about terrorism, all the official hyperventilation, all the media shrieking, all the fear and alarm. And multiply it many times over: That is how frightened we should be about sloppy doctors, bathtubs, ladders, and lawn mowers and i do not wish to alarm the public, but I must urgently report the discovery of a disturbing fact: It seems that in 2006 -according to the most recent StatsCan data -two Canadians were killed by lawn mowers. Four were struck dead by lightning. Forty-one were killed by accidents in bathtubs. As reported in the news.
@t tap water, lawn mowers
