Fired because I was calling in Sick.

Okay.
So recently i just had a car accident and I went to see a doctor and they told me i need to rest because of my injuries. I even have a doctor's note for proof. When i told my manager about this, she was very unhappy and told me that i didn't give her a 2 week notice. Of course she started to yell and said "i put up the schedule already.. etc". She even said I can't get those days off, and if i did then you don't have to come to work anymore. Then I tried to explain that it was an emergency and it happened all of a sudden. She said bye and hung up. So I am not really sure IF i did get fired or not. I tried calling back and she won't pick up my calls. Can i sue them for this?



Also, I had text my manager to ask her for a day off because i need to see a doctor and of course she said no. Can i use that proof to sue her?

You need to VISIT your workplace and see the human resources manager.
Bring your documentation.
If you are too inform to visit the office, call and speak with the human resources manager.
This isn't the time to sue anyone.
That can come later, if you get no satisfaction.
Be polite, cooperative, appreciative and believable.
Being nice to other people works wonders, especially if you need them to do something for you!
Text messaging someone in situations like this is inappropriate.

My workplace is too small to even have a human resources manager. Is there any other way to report this? Should i still go to work then?

If it is that small, you most likely have no recourse. The company has to have more than 50 employees for you to make a complaint. Try calling your supervisor's boss or the owner.

By "too small", you mean less than 50 employees at your job site or within a 75-mile radius of your job site? If so, then your company is not a "covered employer" under the FMLA, which is the only law that would possibly protect your job.
