Seven-year period while lifting patients in her work

Assignment Help Operation Management

Reference no: EM132285231

Squibb was a nurse who had suffered three back injuries over a seven-year period while lifting patients in her work. She was placed on light duty, followed by an administrative leave. Following the leave, her doctor imposed a lifting restriction of 25-30 pounds, so the hospital offered her a job as a clinical case manager. Squibb declined the position and was fired. Squibb sued the hospital under the ADA for failure to accommodate her disability. The hospital claimed that she was not disabled because she could still perform a large number of jobs, both within and outside of the hospital, even with their restriction. Does Squibb have a case? [Suibb v. Mem’l Med. Cir., 497 F.3d 775 (7th Cir. 2007).]
