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 30 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * [T]he cases as a whole indicate that the administration [of anesthetic] thereof is a part of the practice of medicine, and we think that that is the general understanding. The administration of an anesthetic in connection with the setting of the shoulder was, we think, part of the remedy applied by him. * * * In Joyner v. State, 181 Miss. 245 , 179 So. 573, 575 , 115 A.L.R. 954 [1938] [it was held that] an anesthetic (local, in that case) used by a chiropractor for compensation, in taking out a tonsil was in violation of the law prescribing the practice of medicine. So we think that in the case at bar the defendant violated the statute of this state which defines the practice of medicine, unless the shoulder was set and the anesthetic was given under the permissive condition contemplated in the statute.””

It means wantonness and disregard of the consequences which may ensue, and indifference to the rights of others that is equivalent to a criminal intent.’ ” (Emphasis supplied.) (People v. Barnes, 182 Mich. 179 , 148 N.W. 400, 406-407 .)”
