Boy, I feel really bad for you and hope that your injuries eventually get corrected properly with as little pain and inconvenience as possible. What a terrible ordeal you've gone through!

That being said, I don't see why you'd expect anything from the hotel. They deal with hundreds or thousands of guests on a daily basis, and your fall was most likely only one of several "incidents" that day, that week, that month... You get the idea. It was traumatic and horrifying to you, but (not to sound too harsh) just another matter-of-fact thing to the hotel. Particularly after security investigated and apparently concluded (as did you) that things were relatively okay, I'm sure it was quickly forgotten.

Also, why would you expect your meal to be comped? The hotel did nothing wrong and, I assume, served the items you ordered. I could see an especially proactive manager taking those charges off the bill since you apparently weren't able to enoy your meal (I'm trying to decide if suddenly getting sick in the middle of a meal and being unable to complete it is a similar situation, and whether or not they'd comp the meal in a case like that), but it's not like anything about this situation was their fault.

Again, my sympathy is very much with you and I wish you a full recovery, but I don't think you should be expecting anything more from the hotel at all.
