ORLANDO, Fla. – The patient in Room 373 refuses to leave. Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare initiated a lawsuit against the unnamed patient who has remained in her hospital room since being formally discharged in October. The hospital claims her presence is blocking the use of the bed for other patients requiring urgent care. Attempts to coordinate her departure have failed, and legal action is now in play. An online court hearing is set for later this month, amid ongoing questions surrounding her situation and future care. Currently, she represents herself legally, and communication efforts reveal disconnected numbers for her.
