But it wasn’t the surgery that haunts him today, it’s the drugs the doctors prescribed him. He said, “I didn’t even know who Terry was. That’s my real name. I was just lost in the medical world. I was listening to what the doctors were telling me to do and what to take and I wasn’t even myself. So, I decided to walk this backward. Get away from these pharmaceuticals and what doctors kept prescribing me.”
After numerous surgeries Hogan would’ve had to rely on a lot of medication to cope with the after-effects leading to his medical dependency on pharmaceutical drugs.
After saying everything about the hospitals, Hogan credited Mike Tyson as one of the people who helped him with his recovery. He also cited CBD as a treatment that helped him get away from pharmaceutical drugs and painkillers. Now, Hogan is also connected to Tyson and his fellow WWE legend, Ric Flair through this as well.
