Question
Now it's time to find the major details--sentences that directly support the main idea. What are they? Here again is the paragraph. (Hint: there are three, and they are all introduced by transitions--words that signal the introduction of the next major detail.)
Many people are strangely passive when they visit a doctor. First of all, they often fail to provide the doctor with complete information about their medical problem. They may barely describe their symptoms, believing that a skilled doctor, like a master car mechanic, will somehow easily be able to diagnose what is wrong with them. Secondly, many people fail to ask their doctors for a full and clear explanation of their condition. They don’t want to appear ignorant in front of their “all-knowing” doctor, and they don’t want to take up too much of this important person’s time, so they say little and ask almost nothing. Last of all, they often fail to understand a doctor’s orders. Studies show that many patients don’t understand why they should take a certain medication or for how long they should take it. Incredibly enough, some patients are not even sure, as they are about to be rolled into an operating room, why they are having surgery!

The three major details that directly support the main idea from the paragraph are:
1. **First of all, they often fail to provide the doctor with complete information about their medical problem.**
2. **Secondly, many people fail to ask their doctors for a full and clear explanation of their condition.**
3. **Last of all, they often fail to understand a doctor’s orders.**
These sentences are introduced by transitions ("First of all," "Secondly," and "Last of all") that signal the introduction of key supporting points related to the passivity of patients when visiting doctors.
