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 415 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If the evidence raises any issue of material fact, if it is conflicting, if it will permit different reasonable inferences, or if it tends to prove the issues, it should be submitted to the jury as a question of fact to be determined by it.”
75 later decisions quote this exact passage“the plaintiff has notice of the negligent act ... or when the plaintiff has notice of the physical injury... .”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“There is nothing about these facts which leads conclusively and inescapably to only one conclusion that there was negligence or injury caused by negligence. To the contrary, these facts are totally consistent with a serious or life threatening situation which arose through natural causes during an operation. Serious medical circumstances arise daily in the practice of medicine and because they are so common in human experience, they cannot, without more, be deemed to impute notice of negligence or injury caused by negligence.”
