The trial court found the claims were barred by the two-year statute of limitations, rejecting the \"continuing care\" exception. The appellate court affirmed, holding that the physician-patient relationship for the initial surgery ended on March 13, 2019, and subsequent care for new complaints did not constitute continuing care to toll the statute of limitations.","primaryTopic":"civil-procedure","topicSlugs":["civil-procedure","summary-judgment","negligence","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=220044","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/frank-wolfe-and-karen-wolfe-v-courtnye-allyson-walker-md-et-al-d87357","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"personal-injury","label":"Personal Injury","href":"/practice-areas/personal-injury","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: personal-injury","topic: negligence"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/personal-injury"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: summary-judgment"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"},{"slug":"medical-malpractice","label":"Medical Malpractice","href":"/practice-areas/medical-malpractice","score":4,"source":"text","evidence":["text: medical negligence","text: physician"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/medical-malpractice"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
