The hospital where I worked (a very large,well known one) had an agreement with the state's Department of Corrections to provide care for their inmates.As a result it was a matter of routine to see patients both in our ER and elsewhere in the hospital handcuffed to their stretcher/bed and being escorted/guarded by two Department of Corrections guards.
Although I could be wrong I think that this would be common in any major US hospital which Emory surely is.
I would expect the public charity hospital, Grady, to get most of the criminal business, not the private Methodist hospital.
