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 92 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[The general practitioner] maintained his professional relationship with his patient while he was in the hospital ***. By his personal presence he provided support for his patient and information and support for [the surgeon]. He did assume control of the patient after ten days of unsuccessful conservative treatment by drugs, however that fact would not warrant the inference that he made decisions with regard to surgical matters and antibiotic dosages during the preceding ten-day period. The record therefore fails to demonstrate that *** [the general practitioner] *** shared a legal duty which was breached by the alleged wrongful acts of the surgeon ***.” Dahlberg, 268 Ind. at 36 , 373 N.E.2d at 163 .”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““[i]n the examination of expert witnesses, counsel may embrace in his hypothetical question, such facts as he may deem established by the evidence, and if opposing counsel does not think all the facts established are included in such question, he may include them in questions propounded on cross-examination. Any other course would result in endless wrangles over the question as to what the facts were and what were not established.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Our supreme court found that the failure of a physician to realize the actual seriousness of a condition is not negligence unless there are facts to indicate a lack of skill or lack of care in making the examination and diagnosis. Indiana has long recognized the principle that a physician’s mistaken diagnosis does not constitute negligence when the physician has used reasonable skill and care in formulating such diagnosis.”
