1Opinion of the CourtHetman, J.
In this action seeking damages for alleged medical malpractice, the plaintiff appeals from the judgment of the trial court granting the defendants’ motions for summary judgment. The trial court rejected the plaintiff’s claim that the care afforded to her by the defendant1 Devbala Patel, a pathologist, was a continuous course of treatment commencing in November, 1985, and not terminating until August 15,1989. The defendants assert that there was no ongoing relationship between the plaintiff and Patel, and that the statute of limitations had expired at the time that suit was commenced.
