病人三年來拒絕出院,警方強制將他趕出醫院

A court in Beijing ordered that the man,aged 55 and only known by his surname Chen, had to be removed from the hospital after living there for more than three years.

北京一家法院判決這名55歲的陳姓男子離開醫院，他在醫院裏已經呆了三年多了。

But when police turned up to at the hospital yesterday afternoon, they discovered that he had chained himself tothe bed railings.

但是當警方昨天下午出現在醫院裏時，他們發現他用鐵鏈把自己鎖在了病牀上。

Officers were then forced to cut the locks and remove a visibly distressed Mr Chen,who was still dressed in his hospital-issue pyjamas, and struggling with police.

警方剪掉了鎖，並將看起來相當痛苦的陳先生帶出了醫院，他當時依然穿着醫院的睡衣，並和警方掙扎。

Mr Chen was first admitted to the Beijing Jingmei Group Hospital in August 2011 to receive treatment for injuriessustained in a road traffic accident.

陳先生2011年8月份入住北京集美集團醫院，以治療交通事故中的傷勢。

After being treated, he went home after a month but two months later returned complaining of pains in his left leg.

在接受治療後，一個月後他回到了家裏，但是兩個月後又回到醫院，抱怨說左腿疼。

Again doctors treated him after he wasdiagnosed with deep vein thrombosis and three months later said he was ready to go home.

醫生再次治療了他，他得的是深靜脈血栓形成，住院三個月後，醫生說他可以準備回家了。

But Mr Chen refused, saying he was in so much pain that he was unable to straighten out his legs. He said it was the hospital's responsibility to take care of him and refused to leave, even missing his son's wedding.

但是陳先生拒絕了，稱他太痛苦了，根本無法伸直自己的腳。他說醫院有責任照顧他，並且拒絕離開，甚至錯過了自己兒子的婚禮。

The hospital stopped providing him with treatment in July 2012, after he was unable to pay any of his medical bills.

在他無力承擔任何醫療費用後，醫院從2012年7月份開始停止給他治療。

They were then granted a court ordered earlier in the week to have Mr Chen forcibly removed from his hospital bed.

本週早些時候，法院判決將陳先生從醫院移出。

It came after tests were carried out that showed he was healthy, even though he disputed this.

此前已經對他進行檢查，結果表明他身體健康，儘管他有異議。

It is thought that he was taken back to his home in the Mentougou district of Beijing.

據稱他被帶回到北京門頭溝家中。
