United States Seventh Circuit

In plaintiffs' medical malpractice suit against a doctor for permanent injury to plaintiff's eye as a result of negligently performed LASIK surgery, district court's denial of defendant's motions for judgment as a matter of law is affirmed as the evidence was sufficient to show that the doctor's negligence was the proximate cause of the plaintiffs' injuries and the doctor has not shown any perjury or discovery violations by the plaintiffs that would warrant reversal.
