I moved into my apartment on September 1st and found it unclean, with issues like blood on the bathroom wall and mold.

I went into the hospital for an angiogram to check for blockage in my legs. The procedure took nearly 2.5 hours, and I was informed that they found a blockage at my heart and put in a stent. I experienced severe pain and internal bleeding that required emergency surgery. I was in the hospital for 5 days and still can't work. The blood went into my right testicle, which is now extremely hard and about the size of a baseball. I did not consent to a stent. What legal actions can I take regarding this situation?
