General physicians provided substandard care and treatment resulting in Weis’s excessive bleeding, septic shock, and respiratory distress, among other conditions.The court is also expected to hear from Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, whose testimony is likely to focus on Weis’s condition before and after the surgery as well as the episode’s emotional impact (Maura Weis also is named as a plaintiff). Brady, who recently sat for a deposition at Gillette Stadium, held a bedside vigil with the Weises when complications developed.
