nhs workers take their life's in their hands every time they go to work. Very sad as these are the people that want to help us.

If it's THE most dangerous profession, I would have to agree with those who said mining.

there have been many deaths in scotland over the years. death is usually due to helicopter mishaps after work, not the job itself. so sad.

778 over 200 years.
I take your point Canny
but doesn't that make it one of the safest professions?

touche, mon ami, touche, touche!! Embarassed

but i hope you are not belittling their hard work and sacrifice!!! Laughing

another arguably dangerous profession: boxing.
150 boxers have died of injuries and that's only over the past 20years !!!!!!!!

i will include presidents in this list. not all that frequent, but nearly always deadly when it happens.

the world has seen the assassinations of:
# israeli presidents
# palestinian presidents
# egyptian president
# american presidents
# a number of african presidents
# south american presidents
# several pakistani presidents
# several indian presidents - (and today is the anniversary of the death of female
president Mrs Indira Ghandi, who was killed by her own bodyguards!)
