David Berg, once an enthusiastic athlete and honors student at the University of South Dakota, now lies in a vegetative state in a California hospital bed. In 1980, during minor elective surgery, he suffered severe brain damage; his lawyer blames ananesthesiologist's error. The hospital and doctors settled out of court for monthly payments that could top $14 million if Berg survives for more than 20 years.
