You cannot sue for misdiagnosis. You can pursue a worker's compensation claim. Seek legal help from an attorney in your area. The employer can terminate you unless you had a contract. Poor performance is a valid reason for termination. You really should have had an attorney earlier so you could prepare yourself for this occurring.
