Grey's Anatomy By George Gladwell: Literary Elements & Style

Literary Elements & Style
Instead of using commas to separate “doctors and generals and coaches…” Gladwell uses the word “and” to connect each occupation to the next, which tricks the reader into thinking that there are more occupations listed than there actually are.
