Today saw one of the most bizarre situations ever in a high profile court case. During the Charlie Weis malpractice lawsuit this morning, a juror passed out and the doctors on trial quickly came to his aid, as a result it was declared a mistrial. The best news is that everyone is all right. It'll be interesting to see if they can reach a settlement given that both sides know how a trial would go at this point, and their legal fees have to be going through the roof. Not to mention that if the new trial were scheduled during football season, Weis wouldn't be too excited to fly to Boston mid-week for the trial. The biggest positive to come out of this situation from my perspective is that the public will see the risks of ghastric bypass surgery. It was starting to become so mainstream that some people were treating it like it was getting cosmetic surgery, it was the new liposuction. In many ways, Weis is lucky to be alive, and his health is not what it would've been had he never gotten the procedure. My hope is that this will be a cautionary tale for all those considering this surgery, it should only be a last resort.
