Hogan Pal Graziano Moved to Vets Hospital

Posted Nov 9th 2007 12:02PM by TMZ Staff

John Graziano, the former Marine who has been in a coma since being critically injured in the Aug. 26 crash of Nick Hogan's Supra, is being moved from his current hospital -- and his lawyer says his condition is improving.

The St. Petersburg Times reports that Graziano has been moved to the James A. Haley VA Hospital in Tampa, after spending more than two months at Bayfront Medical Center. George Tragos, John's mother's lawyer, tells the Times that he was moved "at the request" of the Veterans Administration for cost reasons. Tragos also adds that Graziano is "improving or else they wouldn't have moved him."

Two days ago, his pal Nick got arrested and charged with felony reckless driving and underage drinking -- and suggested in a statement that John should've been wearing a seatbelt.

121. There is only a handful of people who really know what happened, so making comments regarding this situation based on speculation is essentially "gossip". What I do find perplexing is the bashing of the VA system in regards to this situation. While I cannot speak for the entire VA system, those concerned with the care at James A. Haley VA in Tampa should rest assure that the veterans are being cared for better then those who seek medical care in the community. Patients are not discriminated against regardless of their military background or their abiility to pay. The take home lesson is be mindful of what you do because your actions may result in an adversity for others.

122. Nick is responsible for the accident. Since he was the owner/operator of the car he should of stepped up to the plate and told John that he needed to put on his seat belt. Clearly, he didn't care enough to do that.

I watch the Hogans reality show all the time, and it is clear Nick is a spoiled kid and seems to think he will not be held accountable for this. If that tape on Linda is true this should be a wake-up call for the entire family. The celebs all think they are above the law and can't get hurt. Why not use Nick as the example (of course all within the law) with his court case. This should wake up Linda, because she is too soft on her kids. It's Hogan that is the more stern parent.

123. How is it Nick's fault that his ignorant parents aren't paying? His parents are rich - not him.

124. For those of you that say John will be "SOL" at the VA hospital, and their's no "improvement" going to be made at the VA hospital. Stop talking about what you know nothing about. Start praying for John and stop casting judgement on others.

125. HE IS BEING MOVED BECAUSE HE IS A MARINE AND WHEN SERVICE MEN OR WOMEN ARE INJURED THAT IS WHERE THEY AE TREATED. JUST BECAUSE HE IS BEING MOVED DOESNT MEAN HOGAN'S WONT PAY FOR HIS MEDICAL CARE. SORRY BUT I DONT THINK TERRY IS LIKE THAT. NICK IS A CHILD WHO SADLY MADE A POOR JUDGEMENT IF HE WAS DRINKING AND DRIVING BUT RACING ACCORDING TO THE VIDEO HE WASNT. COME ON PEOPLE LIKE WE NEVER MADE MISTAKES. HONESTLY AND SORRY BUT THE OTHER KID SHOULD HAVE BEEN WEARING A SEATBELT WOULD IT OF PREVENTING HIM FROM GETTING HURT NO ONE KNOWS . BUT MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO ALL INVOLVED.
