Wrestler Bret Hart grappling with plastic surgeon over hand surgery
CALGARY — Bret Hart has won numerous bouts over his professional wrestling career but now he’s entering the legal ring in a lawsuit against a Calgary plastic surgeon.
The legendary grappler, known as “The Hitman,” has filed a lawsuit against Dr. Justin Yeung, alleging he has lost the use of his right index finger and thumb after wrist surgery in 2015.
A statement of claim filed Nov. 21 says Hart is unable to use his right hand to pick up and use objects including pens and utensils. He is also unable to properly dress himself without assistance, the document claims.
A statement of defence has not been filed and none of the allegations have been proven in court.
