Do we have a case?

My father suffered from multiple health problems including congestive heart failure and diabetes, which had been controlled with medications for the past few years. On 9-2-08 he had a stroke. An ambulance was called and did not get him to the hospital for approximately 2 hours after my mother
placed the call to 911. He was taken to Hospital #1, and placed in the hallway for several hours without ever being seen to. We wanted to take him to another hospital nearby but they were on "lockdown" from being so full. After a few hours someone finally came out and ran an EKG on him in the hall. I believe that around this time he had a mini stroke. When he was finally moved into a bed in the ER, he wasn't seen to that night except by a physician's assistant who took a brief history of symptoms and a list of meds and left. He had a second stroke the next morning. A doctor never saw him until sometime after the second stroke. It was determined that blood clots had caused the strokes. I am not certain of the medications administered at that time, but it was determined that he should have a pacemaker implanted. He was taken off of his clot busting drugs for three days, just one day after having two strokes, and was sent home the next morning after receiving the pacemaker. On his second day back home he started to complain of abdominal pain. He assumed it was only gas and constipation causing his pain, but he became more and more ill over the next couple of days and in the early morning hours of Sep 17, his pain had become unbearable. My brother, mother and I rushed him to Hospital #1 and they refused to see him because there was no bed for him. My father was begging for something for his pain, but the traige nurse refused to even take him back because there were no beds available and seeing to him would be pointless. We then took him to Hospital #2 where he was promptly seen to, sedated, given morphine, and to make a long story short, died a slow and agonizing death over the course of the next 24 hours due to a blood clot that lodged in his small intestine, causing intestinal necrosis. It is my feeling that he should have been attended to promptly in the ER when he went in with his stroke, and that, even if did need a pacemaker, it was not wise to take him off of his blood thinners for three days just one day after suffering two strokes, nor was it wise to send someone in his condition home only one day post surgery. I feel that if they had kept him a day or two longer in the hospital the abdominal pain may have been recognized as a complication from surgery or his lack of blood thinners. True, he may have had a host of health problems, but I believe that thanks to the way he was "treated" at this hospital, he died an unnecessary, agonizing, slow death that his family had to stand by and watch helplessly happen.
