Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare has sued a patient who refuses to leave a hospital room, even though doctors discharged her more than five months ago.

The patient in Room 373 refuses to leave.

Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare earlier this month sued the patient, saying she has refused to depart her hospital room since being discharged last October. The hospital also has asked a state judge in Tallahassee for an injunction ordering the patient to vacate the hospital room and authorizing the county sheriff’s office to assist if necessary.

The hospital said that resources have been diverted from helping other patients because of her occupation of the room.

      I read it and it just says the hospital won’t say why they can’t make them leave. It’s really weird, because people are dragged against their will for way less.

        They won’t say why because it’s under active legal adjudication, and they’ve been told by their legal team to keep their mouths shut. Once it’s all settled in court, we’ll get all the details.
