Medical Neglect
My mother went into the hospital for treatment for hypothyroidism and ended up contracting C. Diff.
Do we have any legal recourse?

Re: Medical Neglect
I am uncertain what you mean by C.Diff.
Hypothyroidism is low thyroid production, which is controlled by giving synthetic thryoid hormones. These levels are then monitored regularly. This does not require a hospital admission.
What was the cause of hypothyroidism. This can be caused by a tumor either benign or malignant. On rare occasions these could be for no reason at all.
If it was because of a tumor, that tumor should have been removed and biopsed. It doesn't seem from your inquiry that she had surgery.
Please give me more information so I can better answer the question.
