Whatever happened to the case involving an alleged botched surgery by Dr. Campana on a football player handled by Dennis Prince? It was going on the same time as the Actos case.

$4.2 million. And the policy is almost certainly $1.0 million. Oops. http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/las-vegas/jury-awards-42m-ex-unlv-football-player-botched-surgery-suit

But verdict aside, who let Dennis Prince wear that suit to court?

Verdict was $486K on past and future meds. $3.8 million for pain and suffering. Since this was a med mal case, won't that $3.8 million get reduced to $300K? Or am I missing something?

No, you're not missing anything. They were trying to get a ton of money for past and future expenses. According to an earlier article, the defense was able to introduce evidence that UNLV paid his medical expenses. Anyone know how they got around collateral source?

3:39,

3:16 on the scene. Evidence of collateral source on meds is permissible on med mal cases. They really focused on how to screw med mal plaintiffs relative to the typical "muh back hurts!" MVA plaintiffs in this state.
