Weis suit against doctors who performed stomach stapling moves ahead

Charlie Weis is the offensive coordinator of the New England Patriots and future head coach of the Notre Dame football team. He had the surgery because obese people don’t get hired for head coaching jobs.

Unfortunately, there were complications from the procedure and he was in a coma for two weeks.

A medical malpractice tribunal (consisting of a judge, attorney, and doctor) recently ruled the case to proceed – although in Massachusetts, the bar is set quite low in determining which cases can go forward.
