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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[i]n enacting [Rhode Island's] peer-review statute, the Legislature recognized the need for open discussions and candid self-analysis in peer review meetings to ensure that medical care of high quality will be available to the public”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““[ (1) A]ny imposition or notice of a restriction of privileges or a requirement of supervision imposed on a physician for unprofessional conduct * * * shall be subject to discovery and be admissible in any proceeding against the physician for performing, or against any health care facility or health care provider which allows the physician to perform the medical procedures which are the subject of the restriction or supervision during the period of the restriction or supervision or subsequent to that period!; (2) ] Nothing contained in this section shall apply to records made in the regular course of business by a hospital or other provider of health care information!; and (3) ] Documents or records otherwise available from original sources are not to be construed as immune from discovery or used in any civil proceedings merely because they were presented during the proceedings of the committee.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Pastore v. Samson“Although the extent of a physician's hospital privileges may be determined by what occurs within a quality review committee, the fact that a physician's privileges are restricted, suspended or revoked is not properly subject to the protections of the statute. The goal and fundamental purpose of the statute is open discussion during committee investiga tions. Open discussion is not inhibited by permitting discovery of the effect of the committee proceedings.”
