It is hard to tell you if you have a case, because it is not clear what you believe was inappropriate care. Hospitals are required to have strict protocols in place to prevent patient falls, but if you were not damaged as a result, then you do not have a financially viable claim. I can't make sense out of the other issues that you discuss in your question.
