caused by improper med orders by doctors in that figure.

If they do, it's certainly likely that more people die accidentally from prescription drugs than by criminal acts. Medicine isn't an exact science, and doctors kill hundreds of thousands of patients every year in the US through misdiagnosis and improper perscriptions, far more than we lose every year due to homicides, suicides, and automobile accidents combined.

It's not that Florida is in such good shape homicide-wise (though they're in much better shape since they went to shall-issue CCW and mandatory sentences for use of a gun to commit a crime), it's that doctors kill a shitload of people every year through misadventure. It's not intentional, but Doctors are human, too, and when they f*ck up, people regularly die because of it.
