Rosenbaum was robbed, beaten with a pipe and left to die in a Northwest neighborhood in January. According to the lawsuit, rescuers misdiagnosed Rosenbaum as a drunk and classified him as a low priority. He wasn't seen by an emergency room doctor until 90 minutes after the attack.Neither Howard University Hospital nor D.C. Fire and EMS had a comment on the lawsuit Monday afternoon.Earlier this month, Percey Jordan was convicted in Rosenbaum's death. His cousin, Michael Hamlin, had already pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.
