You're quoting someone who clearly has innumeracy issues and no business practicing medicine. Type II diabetes kills 1.5 MM people annually ( if Judy were to get out a calculator, she would find that this is a smidgen lower than the "so high" 14k gun homicides per annum ), is an actual disease, and is nearly completely preventable. If Judy Schaechter, MD doesn't know this, then it calls into question her ability to practice medicine. Incidentally, the medical errors caused by medical staff who can't do basic math, as Judy clearly cannot, kills another quarter million annually in the US.
