Another way to connect

the reader remember the main ideas in the next.
Modern
medicine focuses on illness. If a
patient with a cough visits a modern doctor, then the doctor will give
the patient a medicine to stop the cough.
If the patient also has a fever, the doctor may give a different medicine to stop the fever. For every
person with a cough, the doctor will probably recommend the same cough
medicine. The philosophy of modern medicine is to stop problems like coughing
and fever as quickly as possible.
