Like any other institute, hospitals have a code of conduct that everyone working there is bound to follow. In addition to the rules laid out for the staff, certain rules must be abided by by the patient.
These rules are usually displayed on a board in the hospital, or they may be written down where they are visible to all. Patients, like staff members, are bound to follow all these rules during their stay at the hospital. If, for any reason, a patient does not abide by the rules and displays non-corrective behavior, the hospital has the right to remove the patient from the hospital. This removal of the patient will be drafted in a letter known as the letter to the patient for removal from the hospital.
This letter will be written by an authoritative person working in the hospital. The person’s name and designation will be mentioned.
The letter will proceed by mentioning the patient’s reference number or case number along with their name. The ward number or room number where the patient is admitted is written below it. Any specific department under which the patient’s case is registered is also mentioned, along with the name of the concerned doctor who is looking after the patient. The letter is dated, followed by the subject line.
The need to write the letter due to non-corrective behavior arises when the patient disobeys the hospital’s rules and regulations and continuously causes trouble. Such behaviors cannot be tolerated because hospitals are very sensitive places where treatments are carried out on other patients. For this reason, any individual disturbing the hospital’s environment cannot be tolerated for causing disruption.

Subject: Expulsion from hospital
Dear Mr. Henry,
You had come to our hospital with a complaint of constant fever. Dr. Green referred you to us. Your treatment started a week after you visited the hospital, as your fever was not settling. Upon further tests, you were diagnosed with typhoid, for which you were admitted to the hospital for further treatment. Now, it’s been two weeks since you were here in our hospital, and for the past two weeks, it has been you who has constantly caused trouble for everyone.
Three days before, you had intentionally pressed the fire alarm, causing chaos at the hospital. A day later, you entered the laboratory and managed to break the test tubes, which caused us a lot of trouble. Your constant behavior is upsetting us and all other patients in the hospital, and it is why we at the Health Care Hospital can no longer look after you and have decided to shift you to a clinic where you can be treated well.
We have made arrangements for your shift at the clinic. The details of the clinic and the doctor who will look after you are enclosed in this letter. The accounts department person will consult with you within a day to clear your dues.
Sincerely,
Mr. Meezo
CEO
Health Care Hospital
