A controversial view at the renowned Royal Heart Medical Institute is that the departmental Medical Directors who take an active role in crafting and implementing treatment protocol are micromanaging. The champions of the view argue that, at an institute of high repute, the clinical staffers are more than capable of understanding and implementing medical best practices, and hence,
the Medical Directors’ role should be that of a communicator and mediator. However, those who hold this view are missing that no clinical professional can be said to have a flawless understanding of medical best practices and that failing to recognize potential blind spots can have drastic consequences. Moreover, medical science advances so quickly that
failing to study emerging best practices may lead to today’s advanced physician becoming obsolete quite soon. Clearly, this controversial viewpoint must be rethought.
In the argument above, the portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
A. The first is the argument’s primary conclusion; the second opposes that conclusion.
B. The first supports the argument’s primary conclusion; the second is a consideration put forward in support of that conclusion.
C. The first is a conclusion that the argument is in opposition to; the second is the argument’s primary conclusion.
D. The first is a consideration used to oppose the argument’s primary conclusion; the second presents evidence that supports that conclusion.
E. The first is a conclusion that the argument seeks to oppose; the second is a consideration that supports the argument’s primary conclusion.
