Because I like numbers
I’m searching in medical publications for articles that may help us. I decide on a whim to search for amniotic band syndrome. This is what I found:
http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/119415481/abstract
We present a fatal case of umbilical cord constriction caused by an amniotic band, which occurs in one of 100,000-150,000 births.
Go me. I totally won the lottery. WTF.
In a way I’m glad it’s so rare so I really really don’t have to worry about it happening to us ever again. But on the other hand I just want to scream, “ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME?!”
This is me, stomping around, wanting to kick something.
Start buying lottery tickets?
Hope you found something to kick.
You know, that is a SCARY number. That is an average of 2-3 daily world wide.
crap Natalie. These are lotteries I wish no one would win.
