SOLVED919

A 58-year-old patient went to her cardiologist’s office for a myocardial perfusion scan. She elected to raise her heart rate by exercising on a treadmill as opposed to taking medication. After a few minutes of exercise, the treadmill suddenly increased its speed, and the patient asked one of the nurses to stop the machine, According to the patient, the nurses ignored her request, and she subsequently fell off the machine. Shortly after her fall, the cardiologist evaluated the patient and determined that she had suffered no injury from the fall. Three years later the patient brought suit against the cardiologist for a knee injury, which she alleged was caused by the fall from the treadmill. She also sued the nursing staff, who failed to heed her request to stop the treadmill in a timely manner. Questions 1. How does the statute of limitations affect this case? 2. Is there evidence to support the claim that the statute of limitations barred the patient’s cause of action? 3. Is there evidence to support the plaintiff’s claim that the statute of limitations should not bar this action? 4. How would you decide this case?
