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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Appellee Brunner argues that Dr. King, an anesthesiologist, is not qualified to testify as an expert in the specialty of surgery. However, both are medical school graduates licensed to practice in their respective states. Appellant does not allege that appellee was negligent in performing the actual surgical procedure used to repair the ventral hernia and remove the marlex mesh. Negligence is alleged in procedures performed or omitted before and after the actual surgery.”
