Charlie Weis, head football coach at Notre Dame, sued two doctors in connection with injuries he received following gastric bypass surgery. The trial in underway in Boston.

Weis was in a coma for two weeks following the incident. I cannot find any article that indicates what long-term problems, if any, he is having as a result of the alleged error.
