(2) Did the court disregard Fine, when it failed to conclude that a jury could reasonably find, in light of undisputed evidence to the contrary, that Petitioner did not know that she had a surgical injury and that she had been diligent in pursuing treatment up to and including her consultation with a third surgeon beginning on October 10, 2001?
(3) Did the Superior Court fail to properly distinguish its holding in Caro v. Glah, 867 A.2d 531 (Pa.Super. 2004)?
(4) Did the majority in the Superior Court fail to follow the holding of Caro in that it failed to recognize that in light of the requirement for a Certificate of Merit, a plaintiff must, at a minimum, know that she had an injury, the nature of the injury and its cause?
