"longstanding, common-sense principle of law . . . that employees who are precluded only from doing their specific job . . . do not have a 'disability'"); Heilweil v. Mount Sinai Hosp., 32 F.3d 718, 724 (2d Cir. 1994) (finding that the plaintiff's condition did not substantially limit her ability to work when she "was medically restricted from working in only one place in the hospital").
