Description
Although plaintiff's theories for obtaining damages from defendants were variously worded, there is no contention that the theories were other than malpractice claims. See NMSA 1978, § 41-5-3(C) (Repl. Pamp.1982). The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of defendants on the basis that the statute of limitation had run. Plaintiff appeals. All statutory references are to NMSA 1978. Section 41-5-13 provides: "No claim for malpractice... may be brought against a health care provider unless filed within three years after the date that the act of malpractice occurred * * *." The issue is the meaning of this statute. We (1) dispose of procedural matters, and (2) decide when the limitation period began to run.
