This articles talks about the many women that have had breast cancer that have gotten a second procedure done when in truth they don't need it. They get these procedures done again because of surgeons misinterpreting "tumor specimen" and believing its cancer when it is not most of the time. In four hospitals around the country 2,206 women had lumpectomies. Of that 2,206 around 22.9 percent had to undergo multiple operations. It really depends on which surgeon you have and where you get the lumpectomies done at because the surgeons that diagnose it are ones that say you need another procedure done. I believe the article argues using logos. Its more logical and they persuade the audience with a sense of reasoning. They state a claim and back it up with a reason.
