Mysql count group by reverse - mysql

Question

I understand about how to use the count with the group by, but I need a specific use of this reverse, I try to do this query:
SELECT
COUNT(pac.strid_paciente)
FROM tb_paciente AS pac
LEFT JOIN tb_entidades AS ent
ON pac.strid_entidad = ent.strid_entidad
LEFT JOIN tb_escolaridad AS esc
ON pac.strid_escolaridad = esc.strID_Escolaridad
LEFT JOIN tb_etnia AS etn
ON pac.strid_etnia = etn.strID_Etnia
LEFT JOIN tb_raza AS raza
ON pac.strid_raza = raza.strid_raza
LEFT JOIN tb_religion AS rel
ON pac.strid_religion = rel.strid_religion
LEFT JOIN tb_ocupacion AS ocu
ON pac.strOfi_Paciente = ocu.strID_Ocupacion
LEFT JOIN tb_consulta AS con
ON pac.strid_paciente = con.strid_paciente
LEFT JOIN tb_usuarios AS usu
ON usu.strid_usuario = con.strid_medico
GROUP BY pac.strid_paciente
And it gives me:
COUNT(pac.strid_paciente)
1
1
2
3
4
5
2
I need the result of every count: 18, the problem is that I cant delete the group by because give a different result. Something like that:
COUNT(pac.strid_paciente)
18

Answer 1

Have you tried SUM( COUNT(pac.strid_paciente) ) OR if that fails then the following will work:
SELECT SUM( t.cnt ) FROM(
SELECT
COUNT(pac.strid_paciente) AS cnt
FROM tb_paciente AS pac
LEFT JOIN tb_entidades AS ent
ON pac.strid_entidad = ent.strid_entidad
LEFT JOIN tb_escolaridad AS esc
ON pac.strid_escolaridad = esc.strID_Escolaridad
LEFT JOIN tb_etnia AS etn
ON pac.strid_etnia = etn.strID_Etnia
LEFT JOIN tb_raza AS raza
ON pac.strid_raza = raza.strid_raza
LEFT JOIN tb_religion AS rel
ON pac.strid_religion = rel.strid_religion
LEFT JOIN tb_ocupacion AS ocu
ON pac.strOfi_Paciente = ocu.strID_Ocupacion
LEFT JOIN tb_consulta AS con
ON pac.strid_paciente = con.strid_paciente
LEFT JOIN tb_usuarios AS usu
ON usu.strid_usuario = con.strid_medico
GROUP BY pac.strid_paciente
) AS t
