Although I'll tell you, I've used that statistic to say, look, in our study, I believe it was something like 10% less than that. 10% of the cases were suffocation cases and 5% were poisoning cases. So if those are the numbers you just got from suffocation and poisoning, you're only explaining 15% of Munchausen by proxy, if you wanna think about it by disorder.
And so we know we must have a lot more out there. Because this only accounts, I mean, it's misinterpretation of that study that I think we actually could use to further the cause.
It's been, and we really don't know. Yeah. I mean, that's the other thing, even in our study, it's a small sample. So maybe I've got an over-representation of kids with GI problems or kids with apnea. We did, by the way, do a study just on life-threatening events. that I'd love to come back and talk about because it was really sobering.
I, I'm just absolutely convinced. And again, one of the other things that I'm trying to put this under this umbrella of disorders of deception. And when you kind of step back for women, we see them, you know, impostering as nurturers and, and, For men, they often are either really con artists who are impostering really to meet their own needs to get material goods and services.
There's another group of people who are really, and they tend to be men rather than women, who imposter as doctors or lawyers or judges. And those, I've evaluated a couple of those folks. They're very interesting.
Again, when you kind of look at the larger group of people who imposter, you kind of think about, and then you have the con artists who really are antisocial, which is what there's a subgroup of these women who are really, really don't have conscience. I mean, they're really out for themselves in a really powerful way.
One of my commitments is really to do whatever I can at this point in time to help people understand and to share what I know, what I don't know, you know, kind of what I think and use it as you will. But thank you for asking me, Andrea.
I'm just so glad you're doing it. I can't tell you. It's really just it's so critical. And I don't know how you. You know, you can make a half an hour video. I mean, and that's, that's really important too. But I think this is something ongoing where you continue to tell the story. It's just, it's so important.
