Where are the busiest emergency room doctors in the world?
Here are the very rudimentary answers
all figures are "per 100,000 residents"
USA - .11 out of hospital sudden cardiac arrests + 4 murders + 12 suicides + 11 road deaths = 27
Honduras - 90 murders
Venezuela - 53 murders + 37 road deaths = 90
Lesotho - 38 murders + 28 road deaths = 66
Belize - 44 murders
El Salvador - 41 murders
Guatamala - 39 murders
Swaziland - 33 murders + 23 road deaths = 56
South Africa - 31 murders + 31 road deaths = 62
Eritrea - 48 road deaths
Dominican Republic - 41 road deaths
Libya - 40 road deaths
Guyana - 44 suicides + 27 road deaths = 71
Uganda - 19 suicides + 28 road deaths = 47
Sudan - 17 suicides + 25 road deaths = 42
South Korea - 28 suicides

I have not tried to dig up cardiac arrest and stroke death info for all countries yet
Murder & suicide info from 2012 - via Wikipedia
road crash death info from 2010 - via Wikipedia
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Worldwide - 350,000 die in suicides annually - ( 37,000 people kill themselves in the USA each year )
Worldwide - 1.3 million die in motor vehicle accidents annually - ( USA - 32,367 died in traffic incidents in 2011 - down 26% since 2005 - includes motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians - 9,878 involved drunk drivers - per http://www.ems1.com/ems-news/1379960-us-traffic-deaths-in-2011-fewest-in-6-decades/
Worldwide - maybe 600,000 are murdered annually - ( 15,000 were murdered in the USA in 2010 per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder#Incidence )
China - 75,000 died in workplace accidents in 2011

http://www.who.int/roadsafety/decade_of_action/plan/english.pdf
25 pages - 2011 - Road Safety Action Plan by the World Health Organization
Per Page 4 of 25
1. Nearly 1.3 million people die annually in road traffic collisions - that is 3,000 deaths per day - 75% are not in automobiles (so I guess they are bikers or pedestrians)
2. 20 to 50 million are injured annually
3. 90% of the devastation happens in low income and moderate income nations - costs might be as high as 3% of GDP (Gross Domestic Product)
4. By (maybe) 2020 - deaths might double to 2.4 million per year
Recommendations are straightforward ->>>> make the roads safer - tighten up driving rules - improve trauma services
Bottom line - lung diseases, communicable diseases, childhood issues, AIDS, and malaria might be replaced as major health issues by traffic accidents in the not too distant future
