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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“This Court is of the opinion that § 8.01-581.17 should be read broadly and that protection should be accorded all communications originating from or provided to such medical committees. The Court believes this broad approach is consistent with the objective of the statute which is to encourage health care providers “to adopt policies and procedures which will provide the public with the highest degree of care recognized by the medical and scientific communities at any given time.””
