Yes, in pro wrestling, the doctor sues the patient.
Also named in the suit is Scott Colton, who hosts “The Art of Wrestling” podcast on which the remarks were made. Colton also wrestles professionally under the name “Colt Cabana.”
Meredith Rodriguez has the story for the Chicago Tribune.
The suit, filed Thursday in Cook County Circuit Court, says Amann never treated Brooks for the lump on his back and followed proper protocol for a concussion, which included telling Brooks to leave the ring.
Brooks said in the podcast that the doctor did not excise the growth because he was “lazy” and that the nodule grew so large and dangerous that “it had teeth,” according to the podcast. Because of Amann’s negligence, Brooks said in the podcast, the lump morphed into a “full-blown,” life-threatening drug-resistant staph infection by the time another doctor examined it.
Details of the podcast were published in several articles, which are quoted in the suit.
