Chen claimed that he'd been suffering thrombosis on his leg after surgery and that the hospital should be responsible for his leg problems. So he refused to leave there even though the hospital issued 20 discharge notices. Chen had also tied himself to the hospital bed for three years when the police found him in the hospital room. Doctors said Chen's blood clots came from long bed hours and a lack of exercise.
"If the patient believes the hospital should take any responsibility for their problems, they can talk with us or seek to forensic examinations. The hospital will take the responsibility if it's finally proved to be a medical accident. But Chen has been refusing to go through legal procedures." said Zhang Jinying, director of the outpatient department of the hospital.
Zhang added:" He's been occupying the bed for three years and owed the hospital at least 20,000 yuan. We didn't claim any money from him. We want nothing but him to leave. We won't claim our loss from him." The hospital finally filed a lawsuit against Chen and the court decided that he should leave the hospital immediately. The executive judge declared the court's decision at his bedside before the police took him away.

If that's all I owed after three years, I'd live there, too. That is the price for a month and a half of rent here.
I'm curious. How did he go to the toilet, and who fed him. If he got up to go to the toilet, then they could take the bed away. Or, just not feed the bugger. This is very strange.
20,000 yuan is less than one night in an American hospital bed.
