June 2006 LSAT - Section 3 - Question 19
Emil-Kunkin September 27, 2023
The question is asking why the author included this citation, and the author isn't just trying to prove that women were effective at treatment, but rather that they were accepted as doctors who practiced general medicine as referenced a few sentences earlier. By saying that she saved the whole city, the author proves the point that at least some women saw more than just female patients.
