Based on your rendition of the facts, the hospital was negligent if they did not begin treatment for your father's MRSA in a timely manner. However, in order to prevail in a medical malpractice action, a plaintiff must prove that the defendant's breach of the standard of care caused his injury. In other words, what injury was caused by the hospital's delay in treatment? Hopefully your father was not injured as a result of this delay, and he makes a full recovery. Otherwise, please feel free to call my office at (877) 995-0055 for a free consultation. Best of luck.
