Despite my flippant comment earlier, I am actually a computer programmer specializing in databases, designing/programming etc. Your line of work is interesting to me as I have been roped in to helping out a friend analyzing the past 25 years of mortality data reported by the US National Statistics bureau (I would post the website link but I have been procrastinating for the past few weeks and cannot find it now). It’s been interesting delving into death certificate reports going back to 1979. Almost like being a time traveler at times.
Specifically, I’ve been digging out information on the deaths of children related to dental issues. Around 20 deaths in the US each year that are related in some way to dental issues.
