A Medical School Professor explains that most malpractice suits arise because patients believe their doctor is acting negligently or carelessly. Many doctors are less compassionate now because they view medicine as a science. If doctors learned to listen to their patients better, lawsuits could be avoided. However, economic incentives encourage doctors to be rude.

Some economic incentives result in lawsuits against doctors

Doctors could reduce the amount of lawsuits they face by being better listeners

This is too strong to support. The stimulus says that economic incentives are a factor, but nothing says it is the sole factor

The stimulus only says that economic incentives encourage doctors to treat their patients rudely. The fact that doctors view medicine as a science is an independent factor (they do not impact each other)

This is too strong to support. The stimulus does not say anything about whether or not malpractice suits are justified.

This is far too strong to support. You need to make a bunch of unwarranted assumptions about the author’s POV to make this work.

The stimulus says that many doctors view medicine as a science rather than an art, which makes them less compassionate. Thus, this statement is easily supported.
