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.
Tallahassee Memorial claims it has repeatedly made efforts to coordinate Paynter's departure with family members, according to the lawsuit that is seeking equitable relief.
The hospital has also offered 'non-emergency medical transportation to obtain necessary identification' to complete the discharge, the filing said.
The lawsuit does not reveal what Paynter's hospital bill was or how she was able to stay at the facility for more than five months despite allegedly being discharged

exactly. why would they be feeding her? Take her blankets away too.
How did I know she was sub-Saharan before seeing her picture?
Just imagine how many tens of thousands of dollars this is costing us taxpayers. Probably hundreds of thousands for a 5 month hospital stay!
Why couldn’t they have kicked her out sooner?
Have a doctor make a diagnosis of severe mental problems, then cart her miserable ass to an asylum under heavy sedation.
They need to kick her ass out of there. Idiots.
Normal people want to move to discharge. But many are abnormal. Hospital is their institution.
No cops in this town? Trespass anyone?
Give her a sleeping pill. Strap her down. Wheel her out to the nearest homeless facility. Boom boom boom!
Do what an apartment complex in Houston did to me and a buddy sharing a two bedroom apartment, admittedly we were pretty wild guys but one night the Houston Police woke us up in our beds and arrested us for disturbing the peace, while we were in jail the apartment manager cleaned out our stuff and changed the locks.
The Houston police back then had sweetheart deals with a lot of businesses like apartments, bars, strip joints and such.
Whatever happened to “Dr. Strong”?
Refuses to leave THEIR bed?
Is she a tranny?
“Their?” Maybe multiple personality disorder??
Without even looking, I just knew this “patient” was a democrat. I would bet the perp has NEVER worked a day in it’s entire life. A splendid example of a Rat constituency.
Gimee, gimme, gimee. Yo owe me reparations. /spit
Wheel her down to the Morgue and park her just outside the Autopsy Room.
You get what you allow.
But let’s not hurt someone’s “feelings.”
your post wins
Running up everyone else’s bill. This is insane. Wheel her bed out the door and dump her on the parking lot.
Don’t provide hots. She’ll move out if there is no food provided, no room service, no linens changed. If she doesn’t move, arrest her, put her in handcuffs and drag her out of there. The hospital isn’t serious until they do these things. They are emboldening her unless they actually do these things.
More fatiguer shenaniggans.
