His low odds don't mean shit if you're one who contracts it.

When my mom was having a cancer biopsy on both breasts back in the 60's my dad asked the doctor what the odds were of a malignancy. About 1 in 100 he said. Dad, trying to maintain hopefulness, replied that that was pretty good odds. The doctor then said Mr.______, it doesn't take me long to see 100 patients. Her recovery was long and much harder in those days. The cobalt treatments were excruciating painful.
