More details to this question:
I have found out recently that someone stole my information and went to the hospital under my name and underwent surgery and was staying there for a few days. I found this out when i was discharged from me seeing a doctor about my kidney stones. Do i have a Case against the hospital since they seemed to let this happen without checking an actual ID or using any kind of Bio-Metric readers to determine actual ID?

If you can prove it wasn't you, yes. Should be easy enough to show you were somewhere else at the time and have no evidence of the surgery procedure.
