Navigating unemployment benefits after being fired for illness in Georgia

I was recently fired from my job in Georgia because I got sick and my employer doesn’t accept doctors' notes as valid excuses for absence. I usually have a good attendance record, but I caught a nasty bug that was going around the workplace. I had to leave work early one day because I was feeling terrible, and my manager even acknowledged that I looked awful. Unfortunately, I had to call out sick the next day as well, but I was running out of time for my allowed absences. I was experiencing severe symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, and sleepless nights due to coughing. Despite my condition, my employer refused to accept a doctor's note as justification for my absence. Now, I’m wondering if I qualify for unemployment benefits after being let go under these circumstances.
