More details to this question:
On the date of February 15th 2018, I had gone to my doctor to find out the source of extreme bleeding with extremely large clots. I found out in that same hour I was in danger of a miscarriage. The next day I had been carted off in an ambulance as I lost too much blood and was severely dehydrated, with a heart rate of 136 minimum and a fever, upon my arrival to the hospital my doctor simply told me I had not lost the baby and said "let god decide what happens next" and did nothing for me except give me a pill of hydrocodone for my intense pain that I had to wait 4 hours for. My OBGYN and primary doctor said they should have done an urgent D&C tht night

Unless this is an issue you want to spend money on out of pocket to make a political point or controversy, there are no damages described here to warrant a "medical malpractice" claim over a 4 hour period of time. You can file a complaint with the Department of Health for disciplinary reasons but thee are no real money damages here.
