A mistrial has been declared in Notre Dame Football Coach Charlie Weis' medical malpractice lawsuit after a juror collapses and many doctors - including two of the defendants - rush to help him.

The juror started moaning as he was listening to expert testimony in defense of Massachusetts General Hospital Surgeons. Weis's claims surgeons botched his care in June 2002 when he had gastric bypass surgery.

The judge instantly ordered the jurors out of the courtroom, but some of the jurors saw doctors whom were in the courtroom rush to help the collapsed juror.

Spectators were ordered out of the courtroom shortly after the man fell ill. He was taken away in an ambulance; his condition and identity were not immediately known.
Weis accuses Ferguson and Hodin of acting negligently by failing to recognize life-threatening internal bleeding and infection after his surgery. The trial, which featured testimony from Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, was entering its second week.
