I can't speak for the US, but in the UK, your previous employer isn't allowed to disclose that kind of information.. They're actually not alloed to say anything negative at all in a reference to a future employer!!
I had a similar problem with my last employer - going on disability and signing things I had no ideareally what I was signing.. Including a written warning stating I would not take another sick day - I had 5 working days to appeal it, and it was given to at 5pm on Christmas eve when the entire HR department was closed until new years.. And then a final written warning for not phoning in every day to check my work whilst in ospital - on a locked ward with no phone access!!!
When I started looking for new work, I agreed with my pdoc that he would show me any references he wrote for me, so I could OK them ebfore they were sent out.. Maybe you could do that with yours?
Good luck
