According to the source I sited above it seems permanent loss of sensation or motor function could potentially affect up to 15,000 a year so not out of the realms of possibility.

From the data I can find, it seems that epidurals are administered in roughly 1 in 4 hospital births in the UK.

In 23-24 there were 545,149 deliveries in the NHS in the UK, that would equate to roughly 130,000-140,000 epidurals administered per year in the UK. This only includes those procedures directly related to hospital births, not the many people who have recurring epidural administered steroids or other treatments.

Serious complications (blood clots, infections, meningitis) are seen in about 1 in 145,000+ cases.

So suffice to say, epidurals though not entirely risk free (like any medical intervention) they are incredibly safe.

If you're in another country then the specific numbers may vary but will likely be in the same ballpark.

My Latina wife is hot, therefore she deserves a visa.

It's actually quite straight forward. Inside the record player there's a small group of highly trained goblins. They watch the needle move side to side and they perfectly recreate the music using their tiny instruments.

Simple.

Schmidt's index is full of brilliant stuff.

Red Fire Ant: Sharp, sudden, mildly alarming. Like walking across a shag carpet and reaching for the light switch.

Tropical Fire Ant: You should have learned, but the carpet is the same, and when you again reach for the light switch, the shock mocks you.

Southern Fire Ant: It happens on the third day, as you reach for the light switch, and you’re wondering when you will ever learn.

Giant Ant: A pulsing sting with some flavour. You stepped into a salt bath with an open wound.

Glorious Velvet Ant: Instantaneous, like the surprise of being stabbed. Is this what shrapnel feels like?

Warrior Wasp: Torture. You are chained in the flow of an active volcano. Why did I start this list?

Tarrantula Hawk Wasp: Blinding, fierce, shockingly electric. A running hair dryer has just been dropped into your bubble bath.

Absolute lunatic.
