Does this mean you think health care is in fact a "right"?
Also, I'm pretty sure the "standard of care" is not set by the facility - minor nitpick on Kevin's point, but that's my understanding of the standard. I would be shocked if there is no action against the facility, given the description of the actions of the nursing staff.

This has been the case for the cases I've worked on, which include states in every time zone. IANAL, obviously, but again - reasonable professional, blah blah blah.
