A stubborn patient has refused to leave her Florida hospital room even though she was discharged by doctors five months ago, a lawsuit alleges.
Charlotte Paynter has allegedly been unlawfully occupying Room 373 at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital since October, according to a civil lawsuit filed by the hospital on March 3.
Paynter, 69, was admitted to the medical facility for treatment for an undisclosed condition last year, the hospital said in the complaint obtained by the Daily Mail.
Doctors issued a formal discharge order on October 6 after it was determined that she no longer needed acute care services, the filing said.
Paynter has allegedly 'refused to vacate' her hospital room even though medical staff have made 'repeated efforts' to help her 'safely complete discharge.'
The complaint does not say when Paynter was first admitted to the facility, but notes the hospital provided her with a written order to vacate on November 24.
Tallahassee Memorial claimed in the complaint that resources have been diverted from helping other patients because of her continued occupation of the room.
The hospital has now 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.

“Don’t let her back in.”
Do we need to look?
No. She’s entitled to that bed.
Does the room have a window? If so problem solved.
Oh...she’s stubborn...
Psychiatric evaluation and court appointment of a guardian. Hospitals do this routinely.
What’s wrong with arresting her azz for trespassing?🤷♂️
I’m sick and tired of these lowlifes dictating that everyone else must tiptoe around them.
EFF ‘EM
We’ve needed to bring back mental institutions for 30 years now
ICE is well trained at removals.
Per the paperwork at this link...
If that info is accurate, Paynter’s attending physician has signed off on her discharge stating she no longer needs acute care.
Stop feeding the grifter! When she’s asleep, wheel the bed out side! Problem solved...
“”””What’s wrong with arresting her azz for trespassing?🤷♂️””””
This is happening in Tallahassee which is known as one of the few DEMOCRAT strongholds in Florida. So we should not expect much action to remove her or her bedpan.
Apparently she has a son.
FWIW, grifting is not the only explanation for this behavior.
I’d make sure to rule out other issues.
If they allow her to get away with this you think she’ll be the last?
I like this comment, from the link ...
This should have been done months ago. If there are formal discharge orders and she refuses to leave, the police should have been called and she should have been charged with trespass. The longer they waited the harder it will be.
A nurse came in and told the lady that she was being discharged the next day. Her response was “Oh no, the doctor told me I’m staying a couple more days.”
The nurse walked out and came back a short time later WITH the doctor, who told the lady that she was being discharged the nest day.
The next day after the lady left with her baby, the nurse told my wife that they treat the hospital like a hotel with room service.
