The answer

Allah Almighty has permitted the wronged to supplicate against their oppressor to the extent of the injustice, as He says: {Allah does not like the public utterance of evil, except by one who has been wronged.}

It is better for the wronged person to be patient and forgive, for that is better for them and is among the matters of firm resolve, as Allah Almighty says: {But indeed if any show patience and forgive, that would truly be an exercise of courageous discretion.}

If the doctor and his assistants have indeed wronged you, then it is permissible for you to supplicate against them to the extent of their injustice. You also have the right to file a lawsuit against them with the judge to claim your right.

A Muslim should fear Allah Almighty in seeking sustenance, take lawful means, and look at those below him, not those above him.

Prayer forbids immorality and evil, and prevents a Muslim from oppressing others and plotting against them, as Allah Almighty says: {Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing.}
