U can file medical negligence case as well as a criminal case against d doctors and hospital. We need to examine patient's medical history and the steps taken by hospital management towards the case. If there is omissions on d part of hospital and doctors, we can proceed.

I need to examine the entire inpatient record (medical documents). Request you to share those documents over email or you may visit our firm's office.
If there is a gross negligence then we can also file a complaint against the doctor for termination of her medical degrees and she may be behind the bars.
As you are a consumer also, covered under consumer protection act and have hired the services of the doctor.
We can also claim compensation for such deficiency in service committed by the doctor.
Thanks
