I know of someone who had minor surgery but the anesthesiologist gave him the wrong medicine and it cause him to have a stroke. That was 15 years ago and he's starting to have complications from it.

Medical malpractice isn't a crime, so there isn't a statute that limits action.

However, civil torts or civil claims may have limiting time frames.

The situation you describe is probably actionable, but I'd strongly suggest talking with an attorney or two before dumping a lot of money into chasing a case that a jury may dismiss out of hand.
