Should I take this further?

Hi there @Summerhill38, hospital sent a "We're sorry for your unfortunate fall...etc...etc..." A follow up telephone call was basically a "We'll pay for any out of pocket expenses, (receipts required), otherwise, essentially, we'll see you in court. After much discussion with my family, I decided that my somewhat depleted physical and emotional reserves were better spent on my future health, and not on persuing the matter further. The lawyers would be big winners, and it would drag on for years. I have bigger fish to fry.
