If he had submitted proof to his employer of hospitalization he would absolutely have a case for wrongful termination. Whether or not he had been eligible for things like FMLA, etc would have been based on his employment status. The three days law refers to paid sick leave. They dont have to pay you for time you are out sick beyond those 3 days, but they cannot fire you. If you have taken actual medical leave with a doctors note they cannot fire you. Calling in sick is another matter, but a hospitalization would qualify as a medical leave and they would be in trouble for firing over that, which is why they didn't fire them and pressured them to resign. It also means they didnt have to pay unemployment.
I'm sorry they tricked you into this.
