The May 19 article "Neurosurgeons in short supply" did an excellent job pointing out the effect of soaring insurance rates on ne

urosurgeons and other specialists.
Consumers/patients should be aware these costs have risen dramatically for all physicians, not only a few. These higher costs, largely the result of lawsuits, are affecting the cost of and access to basic health care. The truth is that over half of all medical malpractice cases are closed without any action against the doctor. This means that many of the cases had no merit to begin with.
Fighting even a baseless lawsuit costs money and time. And time spent in the courtroom is time the doctor isn't spending in the examination room.
Next time those who doubt a lawsuit abuse problem exists need medical care, they should hope their own doctor isn't tied up in the courtroom or been forced out of business.

Which epic characteristic is represented by the opening lines of the Iliad by Homer?
telo118 [61]

An epic simile is basically a regular simile, but it takes place over the course of several lines in poetry. There is no evidence in the excerpt provided that the correct answer could be a simile, so we’ll rule that option out.


The phrase starting in medias generally means that it’s a somewhat introduction. It can often introduce the story in the beginning, or be a great start if you want to start your story with a flashback. I’d say this is a good answer for the question, but just in case there’s a better one let’s go over the other options as well.


To invoke the muse would be to get inspiration for whatever it is you’re going to start doing. For example, let’s say you’re writing a story, and you have no ‘muse.’ Here you’d ‘pray to the muse gods’ to give you muse, or in another word, inspiration. This is clearly not the answer because the passage is not invoking any muse. They clearly already know which direction they’re taking with the story.


And finally, the use of epithets would be to specifically describing something and/ or someone. Sure, this passage caries descriptive detail, but that’s not its primary focus.


In conclusion, the correct answer to this question is b ) starting in medias res .
