The hospital auditor argues that the clinic is not using all of the donated funds to minimize patients’ suffering, contrary to the terms of the donation. Why not? The clinic is using a portion of the money to research new diagnostic technology. The auditor presumably believes that this does not help to minimize suffering.
The clinic administrator leads us to the implied conclusion that these research funds are helping to minimize suffering. How so? Because new technologies will allow early diagnosis of some disorders, and patients who are treated early usually suffer much less than patients who are treated later.
We’re looking for a disagreement between the speakers. They disagree about whether the clinic’s use of donated funds is meeting the requirement to minimize suffering.
