| 13th February, 2007 - 2:21 pm | Associated Press - The lawyer for Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis said Tuesday that doctors failed to recognize life-threatening complications after Weis' gastric bypass surgery, allowing him to bleed internally for more than a day.
Weis' lawyer, Michael Mone, made his comments at the start of the coach's malpractice trial.
Weis had the surgery in June 2002 while he was an assistant coach for the Patriots after battling obesity for years. He weighed about 350 pounds at the time.
Weis alleges in the lawsuit that Massachusetts General Hospital physicians Charles Ferguson and Richard Hodin acted negligently and left Weis so close to death that he received the sacrament of last rites. He was in a coma for two weeks.
The doctors maintain they did nothing wrong. [READ] |
