Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit August 25, 1997, 96-2978 (Travis J. Harrington v. Rice Lake Weighing Systems, Inc., and Rice Lake Bearing, Inc.)

HARLINGTON WOOD, JR., Circuit Judge.

Rice Lake Weighing Systems, Inc. fired Travis Harrington (“Harrington”) a month after he returned to work from neck surgery. At the time of his discharge, Harrington’s physician had lifted all medical restrictions at work and expected a full recovery. Harrington, by all accounts, was able to perform his duties at work after the surgery.
