SAN DIEGO — The dreams that began haunting Randy Dalo almost as soon as he recovered from neck surgery in January 2017 went on trial in a downtown San Diego courtroom Tuesday.
Are they the hazy evidence revealing the harrowing truth that he awakened during his operation? Or are they just that — nothing other than dreams — of an otherwise routine event at the end of a successful surgery?
Dalo, a former sport fishing boat captain, has filed a lawsuit against UC San Diego, as well as a former anesthesiologist and nurse who were part of the surgical team at UCSD Medical Center in Hillcrest that performed the surgery on his severely damaged cervical spine nearly six years ago.
