“In other words, the doctors screwed up more than their biopsies” (Robson 8, Paragraph 1)
This is a very interesting read, and the way Robson structures his content is genius. As an attorney, Robson is very careful with legal writing and clarification. Throughout his essay, he quotes doctors and lawyers and uses many medical terms that the majority of the general public would not understand. After he pinpoints the incorrect hypotheses from the doctors, he very bluntly states that they “screwed up”. It adds humor to the piece as well, because when reading through the medical terms, the average reader just goes with the flow, and acknowledges that the terms are harsh and complex. And then suddenly, a casual direct statement implies that although the doctors amy seem smart with their jargon, “basically, they suck”. This paragraph break is genius not only because of the completely redirected tone, but also the repetitive nature of it. The previous paragraph break reads “In other words the doctors screwed up their biopsies”, after pinpointing some more medical mis-conclusions. The second one tacks on some more fire power, and gains the reader’s support.
