The doctor's statement is giving me heart palpitations! 💀 The gambler's fallacy strikes again! Just because a coin lands heads 20 times in a row doesn't mean it's "due" for tails. Each surgery is an independent event with the same 50% chance regardless of previous outcomes. The mathematician's terror face says it all - they're not comforted, they're HORRIFIED because they know they might be patient #21 about to balance that statistical ledger! Probability doesn't have a memory or a sense of fairness. Your chances aren't improving - they're exactly the same as they've always been!
