merely based on dubious assuption and imperfect case-control study,the author draws a conclusion that all patients who are diagnosed with muscale strain would be well advised to take antibiotics as part of their treatment.To supported this conclusion the author points out that during a study of two groups of patients,40 percent of patients who get the antibiotic treatment have a quicker recumentation than typically expected,while patients take no antibiotic are not.The author's argument is problematic in several respects,rendaring the argument unconvincing as it stands.
First,the argument chief problem is that it relies on the condemned case-control study which based on the assumption that the secondary will happened on the patients with muscal starin undoubltly,while the author proved nothing about this.
Second,even if the assumption is true,the case-control study proved nothing about taking antibiotics will shorter the recuperation time.In this argument,neither the patients number nor the patients personal information are mentioned.The statistical reliability of the study's result is questionable and it is entirely possible that the patients in the first group are younger and have a stronger physical condition.Moreover,the doctor specializes in sports medicine may support better treatment to patients with muscal strain.These two circumstances can either lead to the quicker recuptation in the group one.In sum,without considering and ruling out these alternative explanations for the study's result,the arguer cannou justifiably conclude that the results are due to the fact that the antibiotics taking shorter the recuperation time.
Third,even the doctor or the patient's condition and environment are the same,the taking of sugar in group two may also can lead to the longer time of recuparation of group two,since there has no evidence indicate the sugar has no side effect on muscal strain patients.
Finnaly,the arguer conclude too quick.Even the secondary infection can easily happen on the patiens with muscal starin and that really keep some patients from healing quickly,the arguer cannot conclude that all patients who are diagnosed with muscal strain would be well advised to take antibiotics as part of their treatment.It is entirly possible some patients allergic with The antibiotics or some people cannot take the side effect of the antibiotics.These circumstances also not considered by the argthe uer.
In sum,the arguer's argument is specious.To bolster it he must provide clear evidence that the percentage to get secondary infections of pepople who have sufferd from a muscal strain,and a case-control study in which the patients in different groups matched in age,gender,and all other conditions except antibiotics taking shold be provided to prove the antibiotics taking trully the factor who can shorter the recuperation time of patients with muscal strain.
