Patients who feel they have a good relationship with their doctors generally show more improvement in their health than those who lack a connection with their doctors. Patients who like their doctors show improved emotional well-being, are less anxious about their symptoms, and are more likely to follow doctors’ advice.
Which one of the following, if true, would provide the most support for the argument?
(A) Patients are more likely to take legal action against a doctor for malpractice if they believe that the doctor failed to establish a connection with them during their office visits.
(B) Recently, medical schools and health insurers have taken measures to improve doctorpatient communication.
(C) Doctors who work in stressful environments are much less likely to take the time to connect with patients than doctors in more relaxed settings.
(D) The average physician spends about 15 minutes with each patient during routine office visits.
(E) A large number of studies have confirmed that the more anxious a patient is, the more protracted his or her recovery from a medical condition is.

Option E
Patients have improved health when they have good relations with their docs
Strengthen.
This I could find by elimination only so
(A) Patients are more likely to take legal action against a doctor for malpractice if they believe that the doctor failed to establish a connection with them during their office visits. - not related
(B) Recently, medical schools and health insurers have taken measures to improve doctor patient communication. - but the passage talks about how patients perceive, so how are the patients perceiving this?
(C) Doctors who work in stressful environments are much less likely to take the time to connect with patients than doctors in more relaxed settings. - ok but maybe they are so good despite this the patients feel they have a good rapport?
(D) The average physician spends about 15 minutes with each patient during routine office visits. - does not explain if this is positive or negative
(E) A large number of studies have confirmed that the more anxious a patient is, the more protracted his or her recovery from a medical condition is. - only option left, and the only one who talks from patients POV and says anxiety increases recovery and in the passage it says , good rel. patients have less anxiety...
