PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND This case involves allegations of medical malpractice committed by one or more Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (“WRNMMC”) physicians during a surgical procedure performed on Minor Z.R. on September

The Complaint alleges that the physicians’ negligence caused Z.R.’s brain to be deprived of oxygen, which ultimately led Z.R. to suffer a “severe and permanently disabling anoxic brain injury with resulting seizure disorder.”

There, the plaintiffs filed a medical malpractice action against a hospital and several allegedly negligent doctors. ECF No. 26-1 at 1–2.

Analysis The plaintiff argues she is entitled to summary judgment on the defendants’ affirmative defenses of contributory negligence, comparative fault, and/or comparative negligence of her physicians.

The doctrine, when applied, means that: the statute of limitations does not begin to run . . . upon a claimant’s initial discovery of an injury and its cause so long as the claimant remains under the “continuous treatment” of a physician

whose negligence is alleged to have caused the injury; in such circumstances, the claim only accrues when the “continuous treatment” ceases.
