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

1. ““BOHA’s public censure of defendant for providing false information in his applications for staff privileges at numerous hospitals had nothing to do with defendant’s care of plaintiff. At least with respect to the BOHA censures having nothing to do with the hospital in question and nothing to do with the issue of defendant’s care of plaintiff, we cannot rule the admission was harmless error. Plaintiff’s case was strong, but not overwhelming. Defendant did present the testimony of two doctors who testified he could not have punctured plaintiff’s spinal column. Accordingly, we must reverse and remand for a new trial.” 22 Kan. App. 2d at 425-26 .”

2. ““Since plaintiff testified she could catheterize herself during ‘off’ time and did not testify that task interfered with her earning capacity in any way, her ‘loss of time’ cannot be claimed as economic damages. Rather, it properly falls under the noneconomic category that includes loss of enjoyment of life, pain and suffering, and disability. See Leiker v. Gafford, 245 Kan. 325, 340 , 778 P.2d 823 (1989) (loss of enjoyment of life is a component of pain and suffering but not a separate category of nonpecuniary damages).” 22 Kan. App. 2d at 426-27 .”
