Thank you, that's almost crystal clear. Suppose 1 in 100 patients (for X) die at the best hospital and 3 in 100 die at the worst. Keeping percents the numbers

Thank you, that's almost crystal clear. Suppose 1 in 100 patients (for X) die at the best hospital and 3 in 100 die at the worst. Keeping percents the numbers are much less scare mongering. Best: 1% die, 99% live Worst: 3% die, 97% live Comparing the percents makes it sound much more significant "three times" (sounds like 300%, in an emotional sense).
