OPINION

MATTHEWS, Justice.

In this medical malpractice case the trial court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants based on the statute of limitations.1 We conclude that genuine issues of material fact exist as to when the cause of action accrued and whether defendant Michael J. Flannery, M.D., is estopped from relying on the statute of limitations. We therefore reverse.
