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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “(12) “Practicing medicine.” A person shall be considered to be practicing medicine within this Act: (A) who shall publicly profess to be a physician or surgeon and shall diagnose, treat, or offer to treat any disease or disorder, mental or physical, or any physical deformity or injury by any system or method or to effect cures thereof; or (B) who shall diagnose, treat, or offer to treat any disease or disorder, mental or physical, or any physical deformity or injury by any system or method and to effect cures thereof and charge therefor, directly or indirectly, money or other compensation.”

2. “Because it could not be directly liable, the only way that LCFP could have been held liable would be vicarious liability for negligence on the part of its agents, servants, or employees. At the time of the summary judgment, the only co-defendant left in the case was Co-nard. Therefore, LCFP’s vicarious liability would have had to have been based upon acts of negligence of Conard. As we have discussed above, recovery for any of those acts was barred by the statute of limitations. Thus, the trial court did not err in rendering its summary judgment in favor of LCFP.”
