According to the lawsuit, between May 24 and June 25, 2006, Christy claims he was treated improperly by Kyer, who deviated from the normal standard of care.

Christy underwent several hospitalizations and surgeries, which included the essential loss of his entire digestive tract; suffered from sepsis, peritonitis and infection; currently suffers from severe discomfort and related problems in his digestive and bowel tract; and is unable to eat and maintain food.

The original surgery was to treat chronic diverticulitis. That surgery led to another fora free intraperitoneal error. He eventually transferred to another hospital for treatment by a different doctor.
