The 3rd Circuit has essentially told a plaintiff to forget about pursuing her claim against the psychiatrist she said abused her in therapy sessions for 19 years. The plaintiff claimed the discovery rule tolled the statute of limitations because she didn't remember that the doctor sexually abused her until years later, nor did she realize how inappropriate his treatment was. But the court said it didn't believe her because she had openly admitted through the years that the doctor was hurting her.
