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.
Yeah I don’t get it. At my hospital, if you’re discharged and refuse to leave, you’re getting security escort. Either walk out like an adult or get dragged out. And if you continue to trespass outside or in the lobby, we’re calling the cops.
