>Some of the people Levenson treated are full of praise for their experience.

Interesting wording. Just "some" of the people are full of praise? I would be willing to bet nearly *all* of the people are full of praise. The only exceptions might be those for whom the surgery had complications or those for whom it just didn't work for whatever reason.

My guess is that Block could only contact and get responses from some of the patients. So she phrased it as тАЬsome of the peopleтАЭ because she only had some, not all, on the record.

May have been better wording to say something like "Of those I contacted, everyone was happy". It just makes it sound like the author was either hedging or had some complaints and didn't share them for some reason

Exactly. I'd like to see a survey of a population drawn from those who have Taken the Cure, by whatever definition.
