據英國《每日郵報》報道，英國一名體重55英石的男子盡管身體已經痊愈，但是仍拒絕出院，而英國國民健康保險制度為此已經花費了25萬英鎊。
Matthew Crawford, who is believed to be one of Britain’s fattest men, is still blocking beds in King’s Mill Hospital in Nottinghamshire - four weeks after our sister title The Mirror revealed he could be discharged.
馬修.克勞福德是英國最胖的男人之一，就在四周前，我們的姊妹刊《鏡報》透露他可能會出院，但是現在他仍然在諾丁漢郡的King’s Mill病床上睡覺。
Insiders who spoke to the newspaper said the 33-year-old got a discharge letter three months ago and around 120,000 pounds of the bill has been racked up in that period.
據知情人士透露，這名33歲的男子3個月前已經收到了遣散信，在此期間，政府已經為他善后花費了約12萬英鎊。

But a source told Mirror Online the unit he was due to be moved to has pulled the plug after learning of his convictions for attacking nurses.

The insider added: "It beggars belief that he’s still on the same ward despite the situation being exposed in the national media.
這位知情人士補充道:“盡管該事態已經在國家媒體上曝光，但令人難以置信的是，他仍然在這個病房住著。”
