If there is permanent injury then the claim may be worth obtaining the records and having reviewed but Shands is capped with sovereign immunity limits
you need to find out the treatment needed and if any permanent harm then obtain the records
You can also report this to the florida Dept of health for investigation if serious permanent harm or consult a lawyer
