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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Whenever a certified copy of die chart or record of any hospital, signed by the administrator or the medical records librarian of the hospital in question, or a copy of a bill for services rendered, medical narrative, chart, or record of any other state health care provider, as defined by R.S. 40:1299.39(A)(1) and any other health care provider as defined in R.S. 40:1299.41(A), certified or attested to by the state health care provider or the private health care provider, is offered in evidence in any court of competent jurisdiction, it shall be received in evidence by such court as prima facie proof of its contents, provided that the party against whom the bills, medical narrative, chart, or record is sought to be used may summon and examine those making the original of the bills, medical narrative, chart, or record as witnesses under cross-examination.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“La. R.S. 13:3714 provides, in pertinent part, “that the party against whom the bills, medical narrative, chart, or record is sought to be used may summon and examine those making the original of the bills, |7medical narrative, chart, or record as witnesses under cross-examination.” Reference is made in the statute to a trial and not to confirmation of a default. La. R.S. 13:3714 contemplates a trial and, as we read the statute, it does not pertain to default judgment cases. Rather, La. C.C.P. 1702(D) specifically deals with default matters. While La. R.S. 13:3714 is a general statute, La. C.C.P. 1702(D) is a specific statute. Where two statutes deal with the same subject matter, they should be harmonized if possible; however, if there is a conflict, the statute specifically directed to the matter at issue must prevail.”
