A Dane County jury found two University of Wisconsin hospital doctors guilty of negligence Wednesday morning in a civil lawsuit alleging medical malpractice. After deliberating all night from 8:30 p.m. until nearly 5 a.m., the jury awarded $680,000 in damages to plaintiff Karen Suchomel. Suchomel charged the doctors with negligence for a medical accident during surgery on her spine four years ago meant to alleviate chronic back pain.
