Patients at an Indian hospital have been receiving some surprise visitors after monkeys learned how to operate its automatic doors, UK's Metro reports.

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi recently installed a new entry system. Local rhesus macaque monkeys soon worked out how to use the motion-censor doors and have since been running amok in the wards, kitchens and corridors.

They have terrorized patients in the neurosurgery department and recovery rooms, stealing food, playing with medical equipment, attacking staff and generally causing chaos.

With an average of one monkey bite case in the hospital every week, authorities have taken steps to scare off the macaques. They have hired two larger monkeys - grey langurs - to chase them away.

Killing or trapping the macaques is not an option, due to their association with the Hindu deity Hanuman.（点击英国《都市报》查看原文）

猴子开自动门大闹医院

       据英国《都市报》报道，自从一群猴子学会如何使用自动门后，印度一家医院的病人们就一直受到这些不速之客的骚扰。

       报道称，位于新德里的全印医学科学院安装了一套新的门禁系统，但是当地的恒河猴不久就搞懂了怎么使用这种运动传感器门，开始在病房、厨房、走廊里横冲直撞。

       它们吓坏了精神外科病房和康复室的病人，不仅偷吃东西、耍弄医疗器械，还攻击医护人员，闹得医院一片混乱。

       鉴于平均每周都发生一起猴子咬人事件，院方开始采取措施吓跑它们。

       但是恒河猴与印度教神哈奴曼有关联，将它们杀死或者诱捕都是不允许的。院方只好雇来了两只身型较大的灰色叶猴来驱赶它们。
