Ward number 13 in the hospital is not threatened with trouble

The number 13 in hospitals is not unhappy. Strange study showed that the house at number 13 does not bring patients a greater number of fatalities than other figures.

If the hospital you will be taken to the house number 13 or on the bed with the corresponding number, do not rush to despair. The likelihood of an unfavorable outcome in this case is no higher than when using any other numbers, as the study showed. Although many people consider 13 an unlucky number, especially in hospitals, where they often refer to health as well as life and death, nabludeniya for a large number of patients showed that all of this is nothing more than prejudice.

Psychologists have even a special term called triskaidekaphobia, which means fear of the number 13. This kind of phobia is very common in Western cultures. Fear of this number is so large that in 2004, the study showed that the us economy loses almost a billion dollars a year due to the fact that people refuse to work on Friday the 13th number. In 2010, one of the Central London hospital removed all the beds with the number 13 in two of their offices, because they were patients were in a very poor state of mind.

And now those same British researchers carefully analyzed statistics. It showed that patients on the beds with 13 rooms or in rooms with 13-m number do not face an unfortunate outcome of treatment more often than those who lie on the other bed. Do not occur any unpleasant events that might be attributed to a stay at a place with the failed number. I want to believe that the findings of this study will help victims of triskaidekaphobia to overcome their fears. (READ MORE)
