how do you sue a hospital for rape?

I was in the psych ward of sinai hospital.first they outed me,by putting my female name up on a board that had all the patients names.secondly the doctor put me on a drug i am allergic to.third i got raped by a patient there while on 15 min. checks,forth,i was told to lie to the detectives about telling my doc about a guy in my room.fifth because i was not checked for sexually transmitted disease doctor said the rapist was young so it was not nessesary. I told the cops everything,had
a safe test, which was traumatic too.
I want to sue the hospital. but dont know what type of lawyer i need.

Start with the state bar. Google it. I think they list them by speciality. I wonder if there are any class actions against this corporation. You can't be the only patient they left unprotected.

I think keeping the perpetrator away from other victims is really important too. He needs to be on a registry after serving some time. If they can't get through to these sociopaths to learn some empathy they keep taking their anger out on women.

I can't tell you how sorry I an that this happened to you. You SHOULD Have been protected when you were vulnerable. Hugs and caring sent your way.
