The topic of the essays that I read was Hospital errors: What the patient doesn't know might hurt. I learned that errors happen very often in hospitals across the nation but nothing happens because the public is kept in the dark. They do this for one reason and one reason only if the public knew of all the errors they would be less likely to go to the hospital and then hospitals would lose millions of dollars. The best essay that I read had a lot of things going for it; there were loads of clear cut facts and personal experience. The overall flow of the essay was great easy to read and understand. The worst essay that I read had several problems that I noticed first a for most was the flow, I had the hardest time reading through this essay, the ideas were scattered and poorly put together. If I was going to write an essay on this topic, I would be sure to have the flow of the essay smooth and understandable. I would give the facts but still keep a balance of firsthand knowledge.
