More than three years after refusing to be removed from the hospital in China, Chen aged 55 has been forcibly removed by police after chaining himself down and refusing to leave.
A court in Beijing had ordered that the man be removed from the hospital but when police turned up to at the hospital yesterday afternoon, they discovered that he had chained himself to the bed railings.
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.
Mr Chen was first admitted to the Beijing Jingmei Group Hospital in August 2011 to receive treatment for injuries sustained in a road traffic accident. After being treated, he went home after a month but returned two months later complaining of pains in his left leg.
Again, doctors treated him after he was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis and three months later said he was ready to go home but Mr Chen bluntly refused insisting that 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.
The hospital stopped providing him with treatment in July 2012, after he was unable to pay any of his medical bills.
After tests were carried out that showed he was healthy, even though he disputed this, the hospital was then granted a court order earlier in the week to have Mr Chen forcibly removed from his hospital bed.
