Evaluating an Argument Paper
The doctor tells you that you have lung cancer, and because you have a number of
different sites in your lung, the cancer has clearly metastasized, therefore you have only a few
months to live. The conclusion is given to us at the beginning of the argument, saying that she
only has few months to live according to the diagnosis given to her by her first doctor. But we
have more information that direct us to the basis of an ARG argument.
A- Fortunately, she did not just go home and give up. My Sister-in-law, a good friend of
hers, my wife and myself set about learning about lung cancer and about the problems
of a diagnosis. From here on the author collaborates with his wifes friend and his
wife in order to get to the bottom of this issue. Next were deal with more statements
which are true that support the premises. Using cancer textbooks, Medline, an article
in the Scientific American, we came to the conclusion that initial diagnosis was not
well process to a full closure. The supporting premises set an enormous responsible of
making these whole arguments a valid identity that defines the whole dilemma of this
issue. We encounter much of questions with solid statements but rather that going into
depth, I want to concentrate in the most important ones. We noted that the
pathologists disagreed about the cell type, though the new pathologist assured me he
was 90% certain that the cells were identical and hence had the same source. So
here we find out the previous doctors didnt do his job well enough, the doctors seem

they left answer from fully dispose. Well, not everyone is perfect; hence man is not
perfect only God.
B- I was aware that this 90% figure was just a subjective assessment of confidence and
not a real measure of reliability. So from previous premises we found out get to dont
get relevance to its final successor the conclusion, but here we take a deeper look to
it. The author is trying to figure out why the false diagnosis was given to his wifes
friend. Was the diagnosis false or did the doctor made a mistake? Well from previous
premises we found out that eventually the first doctor made a mistake. That is given
to overall population is the daily basis. Since we dont look for alternatives, and go
with whatever the first persons say. The cancer had not metastasized and the risk of
an operation to remove the cancer was justified---it is over four years since her
operation and my sister-in-law remains cancer free. From him we have summarize all
the premises to finally leading to the conclusion. All of the premises are true
G- The doctor tells you have lung cancer and because you have a number of different
sites in your lung, the cancer has clearly metalized. Do you accept the doctors opinion
and go home and die after few months? Nope you look for alternatives, therefore you
prolong your life and be cancer free for the years to come. Short summarization of the
whole argument, but given a short summarization finalizes the identity of this essay.
Facts are true but opinion are not, What the author stated in this fabulous
argument set my understanding of how we take a look of things to go beyond the basic
and go further, since our limitation lies on the principle of unknown, knowing facts and
just dealing with several identities most of time; will make us think better and will make
us a better person not in just in our communities but overall. Better lifes, since we can
make a better life but knowing more.
