Text: [¶2] The Jaureguis present the following three issues for this Court's review: 1. As to both the Hospital and Dr. Oliver, did the continuing treatment rule and/or the continuing tort rule toll the running of the malpractice statute of limitation and the notice of claim statute at least until the date of the second surgery on February 26, 1999, only a month and a half after the initial surgery? 2. As to both the Hospital and Dr. Oliver, did the district court commit an error of law in its interpretation of the discovery exception [to] the applicable statutes? 3. If the district court's interpretation of the discovery exception in the applicable statutes of limitation was correct, do those statutes violate the equal protection provisions (Art. I, §§ 2 and 3), the due process provision (Art. I, § 6), the open courts provision (Art. I, § 8), the uniform operation of laws provision (Art. I, § 34) and/or other provisions of the Wyoming Constitution? Both Dr. Oliver and the Hospital generally join these issues, although both question whether the constitutional challenges presented by the Jaureguis in their third issue are properly before this Court.
