There is no right to paid medical leave in the us. You can request up to 180 days unpaid that is protected… But realistically you’ll be fired within a month after coming back due to “performance issues.” Your employer can also always ask the reason and fire you for not telling them, as then you have no protection from discrimination as your employer can argue they didn’t know enough to discriminate.
Workers rights in the US, unless you’re in an incredibly powerful union like the police unions or the aviation industry, are non-existent compared to any developed (and most developing) nation.
