Hospital Held My Dad For 12 Hours In The Waiting Room While He Was Having Multiple Strokes

So my dad was having difficulty walking, standing, and moving by himself. However, not clearly showing the left side drooping characteristics of a stroke. After 12 hours of waiting and finally being put into a room, we were informed that he had a series of minor strokes and finally a major one that was the main cause of concern.

After running tests, his blood sugar levels was in the 300’s and his blood pressure was in the 250’s with a 75% blockage in his carotid artery that could have resulted in his death.

These numbers were unknown at the time of arriving at the hospital, but my mother tried to push the desk that she thought he was having a stroke. They didn’t take her seriously until she and my dad nearly blew up on them and left in hours 12.

This was 7 months ago and now that all the financial and emotional damage has settled, is there any grounds to sue for negligence despite his situation?
