In the second place, the mere fact that the rate of cure at the Saluda hospital is higher than
at MegaviUe's hospital proves nothing about the quality of care at either hospital. It is entirely
possible that more Saluda patients suffer from curable problems than Megaville patients do.
Without considering this possibility the author cannot justifiably rely on curerates to draw any
conclusions about comparative quality of care.
In the third place, a higher employee-patient ratio at Saluda is weak evidence of either better
care or greater efficiency. Common sense informs me that it is the competence of each
employee, not the number of employees, that determines overall q, ality of care. Besides, it is
entirely possible that the comparatively large staff at Saluda is the result of organizational
inefficiency, and that a smaller staff of more effective, better managed people would provide
better care.
Finally, the mere fact that the Saluda hospital receives fewer patient complaints than
MegaviUe's hospital proves nothing about either efficiency or quality of care. Even though the
number of complaints is smaller, the percentage of patients complaining might be higher. Also,
MegaviUe's staff might openly encourage patient feedback while Saluda's does not. This
scenario accords with my observation that for-profit organizations are generally more
concerned with customer satisfaction than non-profit organizations are.
In sum, the facts that the story cites amount to weak evidence that the Saluda hospital
provides more efficient, better-quality care than Megaville's hospital. To strengthen the
argument, the author must provide dear evidence that at the Saluda hospital patients are
released earlier because they have received better care--rather than for some other reason. To
better assess the argument, I would need to compare the percentage of MegaviUe's hospital
patients who suffer from curable problems with the percentage of Saluda patients who suffer
238
from similar problems. Also, I would need more information from each hospital about complaint
procedures and the percentage of patients who lodge complaints.
Argument 89
The following appeared as a letter to the editor of a farming publication.
"With continuing publicity about the need for healthful diets, and with new research about the
harmful effects of eating too much sugar, nationwide demand for sugar will no doubt decline.
Therefore, farmers in our state should use the land on which they currently grow sugar cane to
grow peanuts, a food that is rich in protein and low in sugar. Farmers in the neighboring
country of Palin greatly increased their production of peanuts last year, and their total revenues
from that crop were quite high." 感谢您阅读《GRE作文范文大全（136） 》一文，出国留学网(liuxue86.com)编辑部希望本文能帮助到您。
