WASN\’T COASH WEIS APPRAISED \”BEFORE\” HIS SURGERY THAT IT HAD RISKS? EVERY SURGERY IS RISKY IN SOME WAY AND HIS ELECTIVE SURGERY HAD MORE THAN MOST. CAN YOU REALLY SAY THAT TWO HIGHLY RESPECTED AND SUCCESSFUL SURGEONS ACTED IN CONCERT AND WERE GUILTY OF GROSS INCOMPETENCE WITH REGARD TO THE COACH\’S LIFE? I THINK NOT AND I THINK MR WEIS IS GETTING BAD ADVISE. HE NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS OWN AWARENESS OF THE RISKS OF HIS OPERATION
Your talent for judging the actions of Mr. Weis is stunning. Do you think there is a home kit for the operation he needed to save his life? He relied on these two doctors to help him. The fact that their work was shody is not all that hard to believe. These people will do anything as soon as they have it cleared by a medical board. It does not mean they are good at it,it just means their associates let them act, probably before they had practiced it enough. Who do they practice on? The people who are not famous and cause less of a stir when something goes wrong for them. He was asleep, they were supposedly awake and alert, the blame is clearly theirs. You only get good with experience, ask the coach, they just used him to practice. You know they don\’t have a set up to use to make sure they know what to do in each case, they should have had a more experienced doctor there to help them.
And never mind he almost checked out, it appears it was all for not…I\’m going to go out on a limb here and say the surgery was a failure. What a nightmare.
I found it \”funny\” that the GOOGLE ads appearing to the right of the Comment board are for Bariatric Surgery, Gastric Bypass and Weight Loss. They should throw in a few for malpractice liability insurance too!
I wonder if D Wetmore has ever had major surgery? I have had at least 10 major and a whole bunch more of minor surgies. Two of which I alsmost died. One near death experience was casued by the surgeon. I only found out because a caring nurse sent me the info.
Yes all procedures do have risk I and others have found out that soometimes the biggest risk is a surgeon that thinks he is so good and quick that he actually misses some small point of procedure that may casue you your life.
David Kiley\’s comment is one of the most ludicrous statements I\’ve ever read in my life. He is representative of the Marxist left wing inthis country and should be thrown in the gulag and sent to re-education camp until eh can get it right. Weiss made the elective surgery decision. He was a fat slob with no willpower so he almost killed himself. From what I see, he is still a fat slob after the surgery.
And to \”Been there\”. Of course you almost died twice, you\’ve had TEN SURGERIES? and many more minor ones?? But, your poor health and disregard for your body is somehow the surgeons fault. When someone cuts you open of course they might kill you! Please, Hugo Chavez is calling, go live in Venezuela.
Hey David S Kiley-do you even have a clue? Obesity and anesthesia equals bad because fat absorbs the anesthetic, Obesity strains the heart as well as every other organ system, Open this guy up and try to find anything in the gloop of yellow fat all through his body. Statistically he will die around 60 if not treated. This is a dangerous procedure and even with the best surgeons the mortality rates are around 30%. How about a coach a man that knows about fitness not letting himself get to this point. Go chase another ambulance you plaintiff bar moron!
You besmirch the name of our greatest president with your stoooopid remarks. Maybe the person you mock was in an accident? Maybe Weiss\’s problem is glandular? I quit smoking in October and gained 30 pounds, and I am eating less to keep it down. It\’s metabolic, not caloric, in some instance.
When doctors screw up, they should pay. By your illogic, merely agreeing to have surgery makes the patient at fault, regardless of the doc\’s negligence.

Sadly enough, Been there, done that.
You have no idea what you are talking about.
Maybe the Doctors where USC and Colts fans. (tounge in cheek)
