I am unsure how working overtime might protect you from being fired, but, yes, you can always be fired.
Johnny found out that Dove was planning to finish the work by the end of the day by working overtime.
Yes. There is no federal regulation regarding forced overtime. Employees over the age of 16 who refuse to work forced overtime are subject to discipline up to and including being fired. Bills are being considered regarding overtime in the medical field. Employees with disabilities may get special consideration if mandatory overtime is difficult because of their disability, but in general, if your boss says you have to work overtime you don't have much choice.
Employers can't force you to work under any circumstances. You work what the employer demands, or don't and get fired or disciplined. If your doc says no OT, your employer can dismiss you. Simple.
Most states will not pay unemployment for being fired, unless you were fired for what they feel was a wrong reason. In your case, it would seem - if you can prove that's why they fired you - that you'd have a good claim.
Overtime is work done outside your normal daily hours. If you normally work an eight hour day, but work an extra hour one day. That extra hour is overtime, and overtime is often paid at a higher rate.
If you have a union where you work, overtime is often limited for workers in school. If you are being forced to work overtime which is unfair, you should join a union.
If they have to correct a fault in an important corporation's IT system, they may well work overtime.
No
You're supposed to be paid more if you work overtime.
