Question

In the senario below did the employer discriminate under the American with disabilites Act definition of disability, qualified individual or reasonable accomodation?

Jane Flighty was fired after she fainted on the job because the company believed she was suffering from
an unknown disability. After the fainting episode, she was sent to a physician. The physician’s initial
diagnosis was that Jane suffered from syncope, a loss of consciousness caused by a temporary
deficiency of blood supply to the brain. Later, the physician determined that the employee was within
normal limits and that there was no explanation for the fainting. The company discharged Jane without
any further medical examination, concluding that she was a safety risk because she was likely to faint
again
