Javarone v. St. Francis Hospital

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Sep 22, 1975
49 A.D.2d 750 (N.Y. App. Div. 1975)

Opinion

September 22, 1975


In a medical malpractice action to recover damages for personal injuries, plaintiff appeals from two orders of the Supreme Court, Dutchess County, dated November 26, 1974 and November 27, 1974, respectively, the first granting summary judgment to defendant St. Francis Hospital and the second granting the same relief to the two individual defendants. Orders affirmed, without costs. We do not find a continuous course of treatment in this case. Special Term properly found that the action was barred by the Statute of Limitations since the accrual date of the cause of action asserted was determined by plaintiff's discovery of negligence with respect to a foreign object in the body (Flanagan v Mount Eden Gen. Hosp., 24 N.Y.2d 427; cf. Murphy v St. Charles Hosp., 35 A.D.2d 64). Gulotta, P.J., Rabin, Martuscello, Latham and Shapiro, JJ., concur.
