Can an employer -
1) Demand you see a MD because they think you are ill?
2) Force you to go on disability if you refuse?
My friend's boss thinks she has neurological problems and says if she isn't seen by a physician, they will force her to go on disability.
The MD has declared her perfectly healthy, but is this even legal?
Also, they are making her use her vacation time to cover the time off to see the MD. Can they do that?
Isn't this harrassment?

A little harsh are we? I am looking for a real answer.
The issue is - there is no basis for the accusation of "illness".
She has been employed (Management)with the same company for 25 years, with a spotless record. She has maintained the highest revenue of any division for 5 years running and highest ratings from her clients.
Her boss has nothing to base her supposed "illness" on; but on the flip side, the past 25 years with no serious illnesses.
I am asking about employee rights.
