In a critical analysis of a passage, an author argues that 'modern surgical techniques, while technologically impressive, have inadvertently distanced the physician from the patient's subjective experience of illness.'
Which of the following, if true, would most WEAKEN the author's argument?
- A study finds that surgeons using advanced tech spend 30% more time in face-to-face consultations discussing patient feelings than traditional surgeons
- New surgical techniques and minimally invasive approaches have drastically reduced the total length of time that patients spend recovering in the hospital
- A survey of postoperative patients shows that they consistently prefer surgeons who make use of the most advanced robotic tools available
- Data indicates that modern high-resolution imaging technology now allows physicians to visualize underlying pathology that was previously entirely invisible to them
