It depends. Some companies need their workforce to be at work when they're supposed to - and limit the amount of 'sick days' a worker can have. The company is quite within their right to sack a person who takes extended sick leave.

Can you get fired while on medical leave of absence and draw unemployment?

Here in Canada your employer can not fire you for taking a leave. As long as you have a Dr's note or government note saying you can not work for how ever long, there is nothing they can do. And while you are on your leave, they can not fire you. When your leave is over, they have to hire you back. But keep in mind, they can hire you back, and a week down the road they can "lay you off".
