Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The objection to the testimony of the physician is one that may be waived by the heirs in a contest with strangers to the estate. Fish v. Poorman, 85 Kan. 237 , 116 Pac. 898 ; Bruington v. Wagoner, 100 Kan. 10 , 164 Pac. 1057 . Even in a case between heirs at law, where some consent, and others object to waiving the privilege, it has been intimated that in such a situation this court would probably hold ‘against any interpretation of rules of evidence which limits judicial inquiry in the ascertainment of truth.’ ””
