Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Florida

I would like to know if there is any recourse against a hospital for the poor care my wife has received. She went into the hospital on 12/29 with stomach pains, they did not perform any test for 3 days while she is doubled over in pain. On the 4th day she saw a gi doctor who began to evaluate her and order tests. He went on vacation and no other doctor for GI saw her till we complained days later, only to find she was not put on the other doctors list. There are several doctors seeing her and none of them are communicating for her treatment. They have identified the problem to be her gallbladder, over 10 days ago. But have left her in pain.... Each time she is told a doctor or surgeon will come see her it takes 3-4-5 days. It is now 25 days of her in pain and still no surgery is scheduled. I am outraged that they have such poor communication and have left my wife double over in pain for such a long time. The only saving grace is that the nurses have done all they can to make her comfortable.
She is a kidney transplant patient and must go to tampa general. Or I would have moved her out already.
