Can we sue or aim compensation from Doctor ?

My father (mid 60s) hit and fall on a concrete floor and be not able to move his hand and legs. He was sent to Changi Hospital for inspection. Later, the strength on his left foot & leg improve but not his right mitt & leg have a numbness as though the blood have been blocked. This remains for a week. After a few X-Ray and Scan, the doctors believe 'something' is blocking the nerves at the spinal strait. The doctors do not recommend any surgery as my father is already mid 60s.

My father switch to Singapore General Hospital and a senior consultant recommend and process with the surgery. We assume my father would reclamation after a few day but to our surprise, my father is moved out totally disabled. All his muscles has become particularly soft as thought he has a stroke. Doctor vote he would take 9 - 12 months. Its be 2.5 years and my father is still not able to move his right paw (totally) and left leg remains shabby. He is now at nursery and the cost is large.

Can we seek compensation ?
