3152 Since notice of intention to sue for medical malpractice is not a jurisdictional requirement for a malpractice action, failure of plaintiff's notice to specify all injuries suffered does not bar a suit for them; an amended complaint based on the same general set of facts, seeking relief for the same injuries, and referring to the same incident as the original complaint relates back to it and is timely if the original complaint was timely.CitationEDWARDS v SUPERIOR COURT (Malpractice Notice) 93 CA4 172 [See: CCP 364, 365, 473; Toigo v Hayashida 103 CA3 267; Preferred Risk v Reiswig 21 C4 208, T/AT 9/99; Foxborough v Van Atta 26 CA4 217, T/AT 8/94]
