ATLANTA — A veteran claims he went to Grady Memorial Hospital with serious flu symptoms and security guards kicked him out and called police to arrest him. Grady officials say their investigation tells a very different story.
The man now plans to sue Grady Hospital for the treatment he allegedly got from security guards.
Byran Jones said he battled swine flu earlier this year.
"My whole internal system was being destroyed, which is why I couldn't hold food, I was weak, headache, nausea," Jones said.
He said it was so bad he went by ambulance to Grady Memorial Hospital.
"I was trying to catch my breath, I collapsed on the stretcher. When I collapsed on the stretcher, a guard came over told me to get up," Jones said.
Jones, an Air Force veteran said he told the guard he couldn't walk. He claimed that's when Grady guards dragged him out.
"I was punched, kicked repeatedly while I was on the ground," Jones said.
Security personnel called Atlanta police, who arrested Jones on a breach of peace charge. Days later, another hospital diagnosed Jones with H1N1 flu, also known as swine flu.
