MEMORANDUM BY THE COURT.
In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, etc., sustained as a result of alleged medical malpractice, the plaintiffs appeal from (1) an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Roberto, J.), dated March 13, 1985, which denied their motion to dismiss the defendant's affirmative defense of the Statute of Limitations, and (2) an order of the same court, dated May 2, 1985, which granted the defendant's motion to dismiss the complaint as time barred, and denied their cross motion for reargument of their motion to dismiss the defendant's affirmative defense.
Justice Spatt has been substituted for the late Justice Gibbons (see, 22 NYCRR 670.2[c] ).

The plaintiffs concede that the defendant did not treat Mr. Sciscio in the hospital, and merely allege that Mr. Sciscio saw the defendant through the window of the door of his hospital room at one point during his hospital stay. On that occasion, Mr. Sciscio saw the defendant looking at his hospital chart. Mr. Sciscio was discharged from the hospital December 23, 1980, and the plaintiffs commenced the instant action June 8, 1983, alleging that the defendant knew or in the exercise of reasonable care should have known that Mr. Sciscio was allergic to sulfur-based drugs.
This appeal brings up for review whether the doctrine of continuous treatment is applicable to Mr. Sciscio's hospital...
