I have been at a company 4years. I have had a medical problem that I only communicated to my supervisor, but have not ask for any special situation, no additional time off, and glowing reviews with raises & promotions, never written up for anything, numerous service excellence awards. Then I get an infection and have to go into hospital (not directly related to my medical condition) and while I was away in the hospital (short term disability for just about 2 weeks)I supervisor announces in a meeting to everybody what my medical condition is. Glowing review dated 7-29, manager says I am getting a merit increasebut on 8-3 HR calls says supervisor says there is "deficit performance" what exactly is unknown. Now I doubt I will the merit increase I was told on 7-29. I was wondering what recourse I have now that they wont what me because I am sick, even though I never needed or ask for anything different than anybody else. How can they tell everybody?
Can they fire me because I am sick?

I don't know Florida law, but Federal law addresses your issue. Repeating your specific medical condition without your permission is not permitted. You can't legally lose you job over the medical condition unless it interferes with your ability to do your job and 'reasonable accommodations' can't be made. HR claiming 'deficient performance' within a week of a glowing review sound suspicious. Were you given a copy of the review? It could be useful if you are not given the raise you were promised. It MAY be worth consulting an attorney to review the details of your situation if you feel you are treated unfairly.

yes, you can be terminated for any reason or no reason at all, missing work or being late for work is cause for termination. Employers are not bound by the same conditions as doctors, you freely provided that information to him. Sorry, good luck

You have an opportunity for a great lawsuit. I am NOT sue-happy, but this is bad.
