Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare in Florida sued a patient earlier this month for evicting her from a hospital room. The patient refuses to leave room number 373 since her discharge last October. This means that he remains in the room for 5 months after his release. The hospital reports that the patient is unresponsive to calls to leave. The case concerns a situation where the patient did not leave the hospital room after being officially discharged.
