The patient in Room 373 refuses to leave.

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.

Since the hospital can't share information on a legal matter, the commenters on the article are fascinating. People's baseline guesses from limited information are all over the map. What is the woman in their imagination like? Why is she doing this? What does this woman they're imagining deserve?

The comments from people who work in healthcare (and therefore have more information to work off of) are more interesting in a useful way, of course.
