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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Subd. 2. Professional. “Professional” means a person licensed or registered to practice a healing art under chapter 147 [physician, surgeon, or osteopath], or 148 [chiropractor, registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, midwife, optometrist, physical therapist, and psychologist], to practice dentistry under chapter 150A, to practice as a pharmacist under chapter 151, or to practice podiatry under chapter 153. Subd. 3. “Professional service” means service rendered by a professional of the type such professional is licensed to perform. Subd. 4. “Health care” means professional services rendered by a professional or an employee of a professional and services furnished by a hospital, sanitarium, nursing home or other institution for the hospitalization or care of human beings.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Section 541.07(1) first refers to “physicians, surgeons, dentists, other health care professionals * * * and veterinarians.” Physicians, surgeons, dentists, and veterinarians are all individuals. After “veterinarian” are listed hospitals and sanitariums, which are institutions. From its placement alone therefore, it would appear that “other health care professionals” also refers to individuals, in this case the individuals referred to in section 145.61(2).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[T]he following actions shall be commenced within two years: (1) * * * [A]ll actions against physicians, surgeons, dentists, other health care professionals as defined in section 145.61, and veterinarians as defined in chapter 156, hospitals, [and] sanitariums, for malpractice, error, mistake or failure to cure, whether based on contract or tort * * *.”
