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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The statute of limitations may begin to run once a hospital or physician considers the patient’s treatment to be completed and does not request the patient to return for further examination. This is not to say, however, that a complete discharge by a physician forever bars a finding of continuous treatment. Included within the scope of “continuous treatment”, is a timely return visit instigated by the patient to complain about and seek treatment for a matter related to the initial treatment.”
