Question

Visitor while in hospital stops breathing, becomes unconscious, patient calls for help, delayed response results in death, is hospital liable in any way?

Answer

What expert medical opinion do you have that the "delayed response" was the cause of death, that death would not have occurred but for that, and even if so, what facts show that anyone associated with the hospital was negligent in the delay? Those are among the many facts required for a medical malpractice suit.
