“We talk a lot about “risk management” -- a nice hygienic phrase” (Gawande 13). He subtly changes the tone to add in short commentary about the term discussed among his medical peers. The shift then establishes a flow for readers to follow where they can view the information from the writer’s perspective in a quick fashion. In almost every paragraph, there is at least one sentence with the same punctuation technique. “But it was two hours before they recognized the seriousness of the situation -- two hours without a plan of action” (Gawande 15). The statement stresses upon the two hours mentioned and indicates the dash to be an added emphasis on the presented issue. Furthermore, the constant ‘interruption’ in his sentences helps readers to perceive the unique style of Gawande’s because he does not hesitate to interact with his audience even if not outside of a digital screen or paper. On the subject of syntax, his inclusion of phrases within dashes is notably important to his writing achievements. With the several rhetorical strategies evident, it is hard to believe that Gawande does not want to claim himself to be a writer even with how well his work has been received by the public. On the other hand, his main focus is not on literature, it is to educate people about medical experiences that many may not have the knowledge of and in this particular article, surgery and its multiple aspects.
