argument51 [中华龙小组第三次作业，欢迎拍拍]

Doctors have long suspected that secondary infections may keep some patients from healing quickly after severe muscle strain. This hypothesis has now been proved by preliminary results of a study of two groups of patients. The first group of patients, all being treated for muscle injuries by Dr. Newland, a doctor who specializes in sports medicine, took antibiotics regularly throughout their treatment. Their recuperation time was, on average, 40 percent quicker than typically expected. Patients in the second group, all being treated by Dr. Alton, a general physician, were given sugar pills, although the patients believed they were taking antibiotics. Their average recuperation time was not significantly reduced. Therefore, all patients who are diagnosed with muscle strain would be well advised to take antibiotics as part of their treatment."


The arguer recommends that all patients who diagnosed with muscle strain should take antibiotics as part of their treatment since the hypothesis that secondary infections may keep some patients from healing quickly after severe muscle strain has now been proved by results of a study of two groups of patients. The recuperation time of the former group, in which the patients took antibiotics throughout their treatment, was 40 percent quicker than expected, while the time of the latter was not significantly reduced. Clearly scrutiny of these facts, however, reveals that it lends little credible support to the author's recommendation.

First of all, the recommendation for all patients who suffer from muscle strain is based on the hypothesis that some patients heal slowly after severe muscle strain, however, the arguer fails to provide any evidence to substantiate that some patients could generally represents all patients. Absent such evidence, it is just as likely that some patients are allergic to antibiotics, perhaps the result is in the opposite direction. The recommendation suggested by the author would amount to especially poor advice.

Secondly, the arguer fails to give evidence to bolster the standpoint that the persons with muscle strain should take the same treatment as those with severe muscle strain. Since the extents of muscle strain differ various, it is the possibility that some patients don't suffer from severe muscle patients and needn't take antibiotics. To rule out such probability, the author should provide more information about what extent of muscle strain is inclined to take antibiotics-treatment.

Thirdly, we are seldom informed of detailed information about the study, such as the study methodology, other cure conditions besides taking antibiotics, side-effects of it, and so forth. It is likely that the doctor required his patients take some moderate exercises, which made contribution to recover quickly, or the extent of muscle strain in the first group was less severe than the second one. Lacking such information, we can't make a universal conclusion of the function of antibiotics. Hence, to convince us, the arguer should provide more information in detail to support the rationality of his recommendation.

To sum up, the recommendation relies on certain doubtful assumptions that render it unconvincing as it stands. To support the recommendation, the arguer should provide the reasons why some patients can represent all people with muscle strain and why the different extent of muscle strain can take antibiotics as part of their treatment. In addition, such information about the side-effect of antibiotics and the credibility of study should be offered to convince us.

To sum up, the recommendation relies on certain doubtful assumptions that render it unconvincing as it stands. To support the recommendation, the arguer should provide the reasons why some patients can represent all people with muscle strain and why the different extent of muscle strain can take antibiotics as part of their treatment（why我觉得不好，陈述句如何？）. In addition, such information about（as: such as） the side-effect of antibiotics and the credibility of study should be offered to convince us.

我觉得你没找完的逻辑错误，如：不服抗生素的一组食用了糖片，而论者没有给出资料证明这种糖片不会影响病人的康复。所以对这两组病人的研究并不能说明抗生素能使病人康复快。
