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.
“the employer/carrier should not be held responsible for the medical bills from West Volusia Memorial Hospital and from Drs. Morgan and Hiatt. These bills were incurred as a result of a sonogram which had been recommended by Dr. Fulton because he suspected the claimant may have an aortic aneurysm. Dr. Fulton testified that at the time he recommended this test, he did not feel the condition was related to his industrial accident, but rather felt that such a recommendation was good medical practice. The principle is well settled that [w]henever the purpose of the diagnostic test is to determine the cause of a claimant's symptoms, which symptoms may be related to a compensable accident, the cost of the diagnostic test is compensable. (citation omitted) This is true even though later it should be determined that the claimant suffered from both compensable and noncompensable conditions.”
