You really haven't given enough details to answer. It is not impossible, depending on circumstances, for a person to be legally fired even if they are still under a doctor's care and the doctor has taken them off work.

A few questions I would need to have answered before I could begin to form an opinion as to the legality of your firing: How big a company was it in terms of number of employees? How long had you been employed with them? How much time, total, had you been off in the past year?
