Patient orders revenge on hospital boss

An irate patient who ordered large amounts of high-quality sushi under a hospital's name to strike back at its director has been arrested, police said Wednesday.

Officers alleged that the patient, an unemployed 36-year-old from Mitaka, Tokyo, was so infuriated after the director told him off for abusing sleeping pills that he requested some 13,000 yen worth of sushi be delivered to the institution.

In addition to ordering the five portions of high-quality sushi on May 24, the man allegedly filled the keyhole of a hospital door with glue in mid-March. He also ordered diamond necklaces and other mail-order goods under the hospital's name in April.

Other food delivered to the hospital in May included pizza. The number of orders and other incidents the patient carried out to irk the institution totaled 60, police said.

The man had entered the hospital for treatment in January. The director scolded him over the pills in March.
