Is this sentence grammatically correct?

[QuikSilver]

"I am impressed by the wide spectrum of diseases, diagnostic and treatment modalities that internal medicine encompasses. "

thanks guys

 

[CrazyKooK]

other than the possibility of an added comma, I would guess it is correct.

Now I have to ask... WTF?

 

[JoshTheBoss]

Sure it's grammatically correct, but it sounds like the words are "trying too hard".

 

[ST]

"I am impressed by the wide spectrum of diseases, diagnostic, and treatment modalities that internal medicine encompasses. "

thanks guys

[CerebralChain]

You're welcome.

 

[Meow]

No. It also doesn't make any form of sense.

 

[dreyz]

Seems alright to me, but why here of all places?

 

[CyanSleepy]

I don't mean to be rude, but are we doing your homework?

Yes, it is grammatically correct. It looks better with an extra comma in my opinion though.

 

[QuikSilver]

lol, thanks...submitted my application. It was part of my personal statement for residency.

Assuming that I'm reading it correctly and that you're referring to both diagnostic modalities and treatment modalities, no, it is not correct.

The fixed sentence should either read:

"I am impressed by the wide spectrum of diseases, diagnostic modalities and treatment modalities that internal medicine encompasses."

or

"I am impressed by the wide spectrum of diseases and diagnostic and treatment modalities that internal medicine encompasses."

It's a fairly common mistake, but a mistake nonetheless. It would be similar to me writing "I enjoy playing basketball, baseball and ice cream" (which would necessarily indicate that I enjoy playing ice cream), rather than writing "I enjoy playing basketball, playing baseball and ice cream" (although this version is more vague than writing " ... and eating ice cream" it would still be syntactically correct).

I genuinely wish that anything in the world gave me as much pleasure as being a complete intellectual dick to strangers on the internet gives CB.
