Being released from a job due to medical situation allowed or not?

I was working as a rifle instructor in Georgia for a camp called camp Blue Ridge. While I was there I ended up have a seizure and when I came to I was speaking in foreign languages. But when I was in the infirmary in the camp they went threw my medical files and saw there was no record of epilepsy and that I have no case of it and it was signed off by a medical professional other then my self. But I was the only certified rifle instructor there in the camp. So the camp leader came to me and said they where sending me home with out pay that I had to pay them for the time I stayed there and it was a 10,000 dollar contract for me to work there and I ended up making -1184$. With this statement he made I called my lawyer and asked them to advise and I am still waiting to hear a word from them. But is this a legal act to remove some one who has a complete physical on file with no signs of epilepsy?
Additional Details
Also they are asking for money for the new rifle instructors air tickets. They say because it should of said if i was prone to haveing those moments when the first one i have ever had was there.

FMLA is not an option you don't qualify with the facts as stated.

you can be terminated if a medical condition known or unknown makes it impossible for you to perform the essential duties of the job. once you have a seizure the likely hood increases you may have another and a job with firearms that is an unacceptable risk.

as far as the pay issues for the time you worked contact the states department of labor that part is very questionable as far as the legalities of them taking your pay or refusing to pay what they owe you.Georgia's laws are very limited and the department does little enforcement. they basically follow federal guidelines and do nothing more the require a civil suit for even a simple thing as failure to pay the minimum wage.

It's legal to remove you from the job. It's probably NOT legal to demand all of this money from you. And they'd have to pay you for the time that you did work.
