Mayor Feinstein said Morgan MacDonald, 27 years old, of Vero Beach, Fla., was brought here Tuesday in a chartered jet after being discharged from Shands Hospital at the University of Florida at Gainesville.
Virginia Hunt, Shands's public relations director, said Mr. MacDonald no longer needed hospital care. She said the hospital was unable to find a Florida nursing home for him and so looked elsewhere. The AIDS Foundation in San Francisco agreed to give Mr. MacDonald 30 days' free housing, she said.
But Dr. Mervyn Silverman, the San Francisco public health director, said the hospital had made contact with both the city and the foundation and "played us one off against the other."
