    The Probability Distribution of Lengths of Stay in Hospital is a matter of debate. Weibull, Gamma and Lognormal distributions are commonly used distributions for the Lengths of Stay in hospital data in the related Literature. In recent years, researchers found evidence that Power Law Probability Distribution fits well to this data. This study focused on the investigation of whether the distribution of the data follows Power Law, Weibull, Gamma and Lognormal or not. For this purpose, a sample of a Turkish Hospital data was used and tested. Results show that the data follows a Lognormal Probability Distribution for the Turkish Case.
