| When my grandmother was 89 years old ,she was having problems with her heart. My family went with her to the doctor, who told her that she needed an operation. However, the doctor said that because of my grandmother's age, the operation could be dangerous. He went on to say that my grandmother would have a 40% chance of having a heart attack(心脏病) and a 30% chance of dying during the operation. My grandmother, shocked , quickly stopped the doctor and said,"Doctor, as long as you're talking about statistics(数据),I have a statistic for you: there is a 100% chance of you not operating one me !"With these words, my grandmother got up and left the doctor's office. My grandmother might have been stubborn, but she was not a fool. So the next day she went to another doctor, and he also told her she needed an operation. My grandmother asked the doctor. "If I were your mother, what would you suggest? " The doctor walked up to her, smiled, put his arm around her and said, "Mom, let's do this operation!" She had the operation and came out fine.
