Sorry to hear about what happened. Improper discharge from a hospital may be medical malpractice depending upon the circumstances. This may also be a Department of Health violation regarding an unsafe discharge and placing a patient at risk of their health or safety. Please contact me to discuss further. Anthony Colantonio, MD, Esq.
