A doctor finds evidence of a serious illness in a particular patient and must make a determination about whether or not to advise the patient to undergo a dangerous operation. If the patient does suffer from the illness in question, there is a 95% probability that he will die if he does not undergo the operation. If he does undergo the operation, he has a 50% probability of survival. If the operation is conducted and it is discovered that the patient does not suffer from the illness, there is a 10% probability that the patient will die due to complications resulting from the operation. If it has been estimated that there is a 20% to 30% probability of the patient actually having the illness in question, how should the doctor advise her patient?
