But if someone attacked others in a hospital, we might blame them for lack of security.

We don't generally expect every public business to have security to protect patrons from physical attack by random people.

I agree we probably shouldn't hold them legally responsible in general, but we in some cases we do.

probably not. we don't generally have high expectations for physical security in hospitals, outside of controlled medications perhaps. at most hospitals you just have to give your name, the name of someone you claim to be visiting, and then you can go pretty much anywhere you want.
