Under Michigan law, suit must be filed within 2 years of the date on which the malpractice occurred.

It sounds as though the malpractice took pat many years ago so it is barred by the statutory time limit to file suit.

I cannot tell from your question whether you would have a viable lawsuit for medical malpractice. You would need to make an appointment to discuss the case with a malpractice lawyer to determine what you can do.

You have a malpractice case only if you have a medical doctor who says so in writing and also says he will testify for you. also the statute of limitations is 3 years. I don't know how you will deal with anything 11 years old

If it has been 11 years, then it is too late. The statute of limitations has run.

That 11 year lag could mean that it is too late to do anything, whether there was malpractice or not. If you had continuous treatment from that doctor for that condition throughout that time, it is possible that you may still be able to bring a lawsuit. But: medical malpractice cases are difficult, expensive and time consuming, so be aware this won't be easy, even if it's not too late.
