He sought a second opinion, which is perfectly valid to do, and was offered a better solution. While there may be details that change it, suing for malpractice because of it is completely reasonable. If it was just a second opinion I could see, but it said several doctors told him to go the traditional route. Hogan must be hard up for money still after the divorce. I wonder if I could hire him for my birthday party? not sure but I know Ric Flair does Bar Mitzvahs. he'll even wear a rhinestone encrusted yarmulke and sing the Bar Mitzvah song, as long as you pay his gas and he gets the first slice of cake.

Cake meaning a 20-30's blonde?

You know at some point you going have to let go your LOLSMARKS mentality. When did I mention smarks? It's not a smark thing at all it's just silly that people aren't outraged by the fact that they've made this injury worse based on who it is and the negative stigma that the dirt sheets give him. I'm no Lawyer but if you as a Doctor make someones injury worse you definitely should be entitled to compensation if people can't see past that based on who the victim is than that's really upsetting. Not really. If you've ever had an elective surgery, they are usually pretty good at outlining the risks and almost every back surgery runs the risk of worse then just that. It's not like they took a gymnast and made her a quadroplegic. They took a broken down back and relieved the pain but the healing process made it so that if he bumps again he risks paralysis.

Cake meaning a 20-30's blonde? yeah, but he'll insist on being married at one of those cheap chapels and being divorced again before the end of the party. and then he'll up his price because, y'know, alimony.

I'm no Lawyer but if you as a Doctor make someones injury worse you definitely should be entitled to compensation if people can't see past that based on who the victim is than that's really upsetting. That depends, really. Some treatments are inherently risky and the patient needs to make the call whether to make them or not. If the doctors told Hogan that the treatment would work for sure then yeah, they are at fault. If Hogan was informed that it was a gamble, as the whole "many doctors said that..." thing seems to imply...then I think that's his fault. The news also seem to imply that the hospital might not have informed him though, so that's complicated. No way to know for sure unless we know the exact details that went on in the hospital, but I disagree that a doctor making the victim worse is always ground for suing based on risky treatments. What matters in cases like this is how informed the victim was.
