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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A physician, who is under a duty to comply with the recognized standard of practice for his specialty prevailing at the time of treatment, cannot avoid liability which he would otherwise have for aggravation of injuries to his patient, if any, on the ground that it was caused by a subsequent negligent treatment of a later treating physician if the subsequent treatment was necessitated by the first physician's failure to comply with the applicable standard of care prevailing at the time of treatment by him.”
