A: There aren't any facts in your post to evaluate whether a malpractice claim is even possible. You will need to contact a malpractice attorney to discuss this in detail. Such claims cannot be evaluated over the internet.

Tim Akpinar agrees with this answer

A: You could contact a California attorney to discuss the matter further, but they are going to need more information in exploring the issue of whether there was a breach of duty on the part of the hospital. If you make some calls, you should be able to find an attorney who could offer a free initial consultation.
