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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Failure to provide expert testimony will usually subject the plaintiff's claim to summary disposition. However, a plaintiff is not required to present expert testimony in those cases where deviation from the standard of care is a matter commonly known to lay persons. This exception is based upon the doctrine if [sic] res ipsa loquitur where the deficiency of the physician's conduct "speaks for itself."”
