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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Under the Uniform Business Records As Evidence Act, a trial court has considerable discretionary power in determining whether the sources of information, method and time of preparation are such as to justify admission of hospital records in evidence, and its ruling should not be disturbed except where there is a manifest abuse of discretion. The purpose of the Uniform Business Records As Evidence Act is to eliminate the necessity of calling, qualifying and interrogating each person who makes individual entries in the regular course of a business. Where X-ray reports of plaintiff, who brought an action for personal injuries sustained in an automobile accident, were part of a hospital’s records, the qualifications of the technician who took the X-rays did not have to be proved before his report was admissible under the Uniform Business Records As Evidence Act.””
