Medical Malpractice Attorneys and Lawyers

Medical malpractice statue of limitations...?

I have a medical malpractice case but no lawyers want to look into it because the statue of limitations. I know I have a case, because many lawyers said they would have researched it if it was earlier but because i am 2 weeks away from the statue in DC they dont want to. I can not make myself believe there is no one that will help me or is willing to work with me. I know there are ways around it because in dc there is something that the statue may begin when there is knowledge of an error. I have also had 4 surgeries with the same doc for the same procedure so couldnt the lawyer begin the statue from one of the other surgeries and not the first one?? I can not make myself believe that there is nothing that can be done and i ahve to live the rest of my life in pain and the doctor doesnt have to lose 1 night of sleep over it...any advice??anybody? I didnt know that i really had a case or really knew of any statues...The kind of surgery i had requires 2 surgeries, 1 to place the device in your foot and one to take it out, in between i had 1 surgery a month after the first one to fix a screw that was incorrectly placed...I was hoping maybe the statue could begin from the 2nd surgery or even the 3rd?
