7. And a little math just blows it all out of the water.

Only 1.6% of the doctors they sent the survey to said they were thinking of quitting.

That's 1.6% of 36,000. There are more than 36,000 doctors operating in the New York City area alone, for scale.

Taken on scale of doctors nationwide, the number becomes 0.07% of doctors are thinking of quitting.

And remember, those 36,000 doctors? Very probably make up people on the mailing list of a far-right think tank group called the Doctor Patient Medical Association...

Add to THOSE facts the goofiness of multiple choice question that have no priority weighting, and... Yeah. Scientology has more science than this survey.
