1 in 100,000 not 10,000 (anaesthesia deaths)

Well either it's 1 in 10,0000 in my country, or the department of health, my surgeon and GP are all missing a zero... which isn't more likely because there's no way our risk would be that much higher than the UK, and the NHS public health resources is 100,000.

I can't load that page so assuming it just says 1 in 10,000. That does seem like an insane difference and actually quite a high risk imo given how many people undergo surgery.
