Most timber sales *are* less than 4,200 acres (true sale size can be seen on the USFS logging map tool).

Both of these sentences talk about the Hippocratic Oath and similar statements. While the previous sentence gives an explanation as to why the Hippocratic oath exists, getting the hopes of the reader up, the following sentence dashes those hopes, explicitly saying that it wasn't law.

It begins with saying whom explicitly requires to tell about procedures - doctors. It then uses a semicolon to run into how there was uncertainty if that also applied to researchers who were working with patients who were not their own..

Demerol, morphine, Dromoran, and eventually alcohol injection which, as archaic as it may sound, is a well known procedure. I think that this format is works incredibly well to illustrate just how much pain Henrietta must have been going through, for three opioid-based painkillers and then a treatment specifically designed to temporarily damage nerves to cease the pain to not work.

Perhaps it's a callback to the founding of the hospital - hos, likely referring to hospitality, and pital, possibly referring to pity.
