Donna Heilweil v. Mount Sinai Hospital

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that periodic respiratory difficulties did not significantly affect the major life activity of working
• holding that discovery of plaintiff’s serious sinus condition subsequent to employer’s challenged decisions was not probative of whether she was a “handicapped person” under the relevant statute
• noting that summary judgment can be granted \only when no rational jury could find in favor of the nonmoving party\
• reiterating that “a person found unsuitable for a particular position has not thereby demonstrated an impairment substantially limiting such person’s major life activity of working”
• stating that the plaintiff cannot now bring information that she may have been suffering from a different condition when he was terminated when neither she nor her employer was aware of it
• finding that the plaintiff’s condition did not substantially limit her ability to work when she “was medically restricted from working in only one place in the hospital”
