Hulk Hogan is suing the Laser Spine Institute in Florida for $50 million dollars. The wrestler says the doctors there duped him into several bogus procedures that were not only worthless, but they damaged his career. Hogan says he turned to the institute in 2009 when he was seeking treatment for scoliosis and several bulging discs. Hogan claims the procedures actually made him feel worse in the long run. He blames the institute for not advising him that the laser treatment is only a temporary solution, not a permanent one. Hulk had to go to other surgeons who actually fixed his back.
