TALLAHASSEE — A hospital in Florida is suing a patient because she won’t leave.
This lady will straight up NOT get out of the bed.
Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare has filed a lawsuit against a woman who has been occupying Room 373 since she was formally discharged back in October. That was five months ago…
This woman received a discharge order on October 6th. Doctors said she no longer needed acute care. They gave her a follow-up plan and told her she was good to go.
And she said no…

And kept saying no…

For 153 days and counting…

The hospital has now asked a state judge for an injunction ordering her to vacate the room and has requested authorization for the Leon County Sheriff’s Office to assist if she still refuses.
The lawsuit states that her “continued occupancy prevents use of the bed for patients needing acute care,” which is hospital legal speak for “there are people who are actually sick and we need this room back immediately.”

This woman turned a hospital stay into a lease agreement. At this point she probably has mail delivered there. She’s rearranged the furniture. She has opinions about the cafeteria menu.

Most people can’t wait to leave a hospital. The food is terrible, the gown is humiliating, and someone wakes you up every four hours to check your blood pressure. This woman said “this is home now” and dared anyone to do something about it.
They did something about it. They called a lawyer.
Only in Florida does a hospital have to file an eviction notice on a patient.
