Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Florida

Doctor gave me a bum answer
I Went to my family doctor and upon an exam,was sent to the hospital to get a CTI or sonogram since an xray wouldn't show the possible rupture of my spleen.When I saw the doctor at the hospital she gave me xrays and did an internal bleeding test then sent me home saying I had a muscle spasm which turned out to be wrong.About 5 days later after much pain I went back to my Doctor and told him I felt the same.He sent me for the tests he wanted the hospital to do and found I had a severe contusion to my spleen.Nothing from the hospital except about a $1500 bill.My question is anything I can do to the Doctor or get out of paying hospital bills since they did nothing for me?

Unless the damages for the improper diagnosis are severe, it is not cost effective to pursue a med mal claim over $1500.
