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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Step II of the physiologic evaluation is the Dco test. Even though the Step I results are within the normal range, if the patient’s respiratory complaints are inconsistent with that range, then the Dco test must be given. It is within the physician’s medical expertise to determine if the complaints are inconsistent with the spirometry results. The 1984 Guide does not require the Dc0 test as a prerequisite to a zero impairment rating in all circumstances.”
