Penn State Health is weighing its options after being slapped with a $5.25 million verdict in the case of a doctor who was fired amid a clash with football coach James Franklin. On Wednesday, a jury in Dauphin County, Pa., ruled in favor of Dr. Scott Lynch, who sued Penn State Health after being fired in 2019 as medical director for Penn State athletics and as an orthopedic consultant to the team. "We are extremely disappointed to learn of the jury's decision, as we continue to believe that the claims in the complaint have no merit," Penn State Health said in a statement issued Thursday morning.
