Charlie Weis is suing the doctors who operated on him, claiming they didn’t notice complications after his gastric bypass surgery.

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 Roman Catholic sacrament of last rites. He was in a coma for two weeks.

The doctors maintain they did nothing wrong.

Weis reported complications, including difficulty breathing, in the early morning a day after his surgery, Mone said in an opening statement in Suffolk Superior Court. The following day, doctors performed another surgery to fix problems caused by the initial procedure.

“For more than 30 hours, Mr. Weis continued to bleed,” Mone said.

This was the first I heard of the incident. I knew he had the surgery back when he was with the Patriots — he always thought it was his weight that held him back from getting a head coaching job — but definitely didn’t know he was in a coma for two weeks.

One thing I’m certain the doctors didn’t prescribe to help with the internal bleeding: Watching the LSU game.
