The New Mexico medical malpractice plaintiff sought treatment for pelvic pain in 2006, and had pelvic ultrasound in May 2006. On August 8, 2006, the plaintiff consulted with the defendant physician in New Mexico, who reviewed the ultrasound report but did not schedule biopsy. The defendant examined the plaintiff and diagnosed her as having endometriosis and provided her with medication for that condition, intending that she return to his office for follow-up visit. On September 22, 2008, while seeing an OB/GYN in Wyoming for her continuing pelvic pain, the plaintiff learned that the defendant physician had failed to inform her of the mass on her left ovary.
