Speaking as someone with no firearms experience which would be the best area to target to prevent this healthcare disaster?

The answer is "c", he is moving rapidly so you want to aim where he will be, not where he was. Also, taking out a leg will not stop him, you need to finish him completely by taking his head off. Of course, you need a decent weapon also which has a sufficient caliber and velocity of bullet.

but wouldn't you aim for an area a bit below C? I would think you'd less chance of missing if you aim for the chest/stomach area rather than the head.

Either one wouldn't be bad. Since it would be a side shot, the potential would be higher that you'd hit a vital organ, but there still that chance you could miss his heart. So, I still say the head, always better to aim for the head. Shots the body also could lead to the bad guy having a few moments to react whereas a head shot is instant. I don't think the body is any better a target than the head.
