med mal question

a dear friend is hospitalized. a year and a half ago he had a kidney transplant and he is having rejection symptoms. he was starting to mend and was due for release without needing dialysis. he took a turn for the worse and will now, not be released. his turn for the worse was due to eating foods containing ingredients he can not safely consume. his only meals are being served to him from the hospital. big oversight. is there any legal action he can take against the hospital due to staff negligence?
