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.
“[H]ad Dr. Brint not been negligent in his pre-operative care, blepharoplasty would not have been performed, and thus she would not have had the complications she subsequently experienced. Thus the correct inquiry for our determination is not whether the blepharo-plasty caused the onset of Graves disease, but whether it increased the risk of harm to Gust following the onset of that disease.”
