Re: medical statues

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. You should be aware there are a number of exceptions to the statute of limitations, including fraud, discovery of the negligence, and continuing conduct.

Some or all of these may apply to your situation. You should gather up all your documents, medical bills, etc and show them to an attorney immediately.

As for the statute itself, you can contact your state representative and senators.
