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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We cannot see that any of this would alter the case. It is not evidence that the appellee-doctor did something which the recognized standard of good medical practice forbids, or that he failed to do something which such standard requires. If a physician who is a specialist in the field of medicine fails to apply the skill and learning which is required of similarly situated physicians in that community, he is guilty of malpractice. If he does something which the recognized standard of good medical practice forbids, or fails to do something which such standard requires, he likewise is guilty of malprac-tice____ As we view it, testimony that one specialist has experienced a different result than what another specialist has experienced is not proof of the standard, nor is the fact that certain surgeons select a particular course as between two in an operation, each of which might lead to a different unsatisfactory result proof of the standard. The standard must be based on the care and skill which is exercised generally by physicians of ordinary care and skill in the community involved or similar communities.”
