What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? South Carolina

I took my 6 month old twin boys to the cardiologist on yesterday. The doctor took one of them from me to begin examination. While he had him on the examination table, he rolled off and hit the hard wood floor. Although, I was very upset. I tried to remain civil. They performed no examination on him, other than rubbing his head.The cardiologist did tell me to keep a close eye on him an if he started to stare off call him back and let him know. After leaving the doctor's office and getting home, I noticed when I lifted his arm up he would cry out, as if he was feeling excruciating pain. I took him to the emergency room, only to find out he has a fractured humerus due to his fall. They gave him motrin for the pain and put a splint on his arm. I followed up with his regular doctor and they referred me to an orthopedic specialist. I called the cardiologist back to inform him. Is there anything I can do about this? Also I have a witness, at the time there was an intern in the room when it happened.

This wouldn't be malpractice, it would be a more ordinary personal injury case. If I were you, I'd talk to a lawyer.
