Being sick is no fun. There's the symptoms that can vary from annoying (rashes, sneezing) to downright terrible (lethargy, vomiting), and having to follow doctor's orders. It's even worse if there's something you want or need to do but can't because you're sick, and that's this trope. Sometimes it's only disappointing (e.g. they can't go to the circus) but other times, it's more important (e.g. the superheroes have lost their powers and the only one who knows how to bring them back is sick and can't do it), but Working Through the Cold is not an option (either because their illness means they physically can't do the thing, they don't feel up to it, or they're not allowed to because they might get sicker or someone else might catch the germs). In some cases, you can expect a Disease-Prevention Aesop, either as an admonishment or when they recover. When Played for Laughs, it's common for a character with a job to get sick so somebody subs for them and is humorously incompetent. Sometimes this is doubled up by having another character try to nurse the sick one and also be humorously incompetent. Often in children's entertainment, this is used to teach a lesson about either overcoming disappointment (such as when you're too sick to go to the fair or when an event is cancelled because one of the key people got sick), determination (e.g. "Even though X is sick and can't do Y, we must find a way for Y to happen anyway!"), or accepting new things (such as a substitute teacher). Some plots might focus on a character trying to do their own job plus the sick one's job, which often makes them tired (perhaps leading to a Go-to-Sleep Ending), but not always. Some characters (usually kids) might even try to invoke it by trying to get sick so they won't have to do something. Usually, they don't get sick until later, when they don't want to be sick. Other times, the sick character isn't given much attention and may only be acknowledged by having one character say to another, "X is sick and can't do Y so you will have to do Y instead!", with the rest of the plot focusing solely on the character doing (or trying to do) Y. A variation is when the character is not actually sick but instead injured, wore their voice out, mesmerised, etc. A common subversion is to have someone think they won't be able to do something but then get better before they try it. They may also work from home when sick. Contrast Working Through the Cold (linked to above), Faking Another Person's Illness, Prank Injuries, Sick Captive Scam, Handicapped Badass, Beneficial Disease, Playing Sick, and Getting Sick Deliberately. Compare and contrast Sick Episode (where the entire plot hinges on characters being sick). Sometimes invoked by the trope Disease-Prevention Aesop (e.g. "Stay home so you don't spread germs!"). If Santa Claus gets sick, it can overlap with Subbing for Santa and Saving Christmas. See Strike Episode, and Vacation Episode for other reasons characters might not be doing their usual. Sometimes overlaps with Vetinari Job Security if the conflict comes from the fact that no one else can do their job correctly. Can overlap with Injured Limb Episode and Ruptured Appendix and often overlaps with Deus ex 'Scuse Me, O.O.C. Is Serious Business ("It's not like Alice to be late for work! Oh, that's why!"), Worf Had the Flu, A Day in Her Apron, and Deus Exit Machina. |

The Jetsons has Elroy win a visit from television hero Nimbus The Great. However, the visit later has to be canceled because the actor who plays Nimbus has the flu. After George Jetson visits the sick fellow and berates him for disappointing a child, Nimbus decides to tough it out and visit Elroy. Plot complication: George realizes the man shouldn't be spreading his ailment, so he dons a lookalike outfit to pose as Nimbus for Elroy's sake. | |

Angelina Ballerina: In a Sick Episode Gracie and Alice have "the snuffles" and cannot be Angelina's helpers. "Angelina In The Wings". Several "sunbeam" dancers disappear and are said to have "the mouse pox". In the Next Steps episode "Hip-Hop Boys", A.J. injures his leg, so Marco dances for him. In the episode "Angelina's Surprise", Angelina lies that Mrs. Mouseling is pregnant because she's jealous of the attention the Pinkpaws twins are getting about their baby brother. She then feels guilty and wants to avoid going to a party, so when she hears that Mrs. Hodgepodge can't come because she's broken her leg, Angelina pretends to break hers. |

Bones: There's a season 11 episode that opens at a crime scene and a couple of other characters have to sub in collecting evidence because Hodgins is unavailable due to a "wheelchair emergency". Translation being that the sex was too rough and a wheel popped off. Booth was sidelined in one early episode because of his injured back. Brennan works with Agent Perotta. The episode ends with Brennan adjusting his back and it makes him feel better. |

The Simpsons: In "Round Springfield", a lot of the kids at school decide to follow Bart's lead and get an appendectomy, leaving only Ralph Wiggum, Martin Prince, and Lisa to put on a band performance of "Stars and Stripes Forever". In the episode "Little Big Mom", Marge gets injured at a ski resort, so Lisa decides to take over in taking care of the house. But Homer and Bart are pretty unhelpful, acting like Lazy Bums. In the episode "Worst Episode Ever" Bart and Milhouse take over running the Android Dungeon comic book store while Comic Book Guy recovers from a heart attack. Lisa Simpson meets her perfect substitute teacher Mr. Bergstrom in the episode "Lisa's Substitute" because Miss Hoover has Lyme Disease (or at least thinks she does). In one episode, Ralph gets sick from drinking too much juice, so Lisa has to fill his role in a sports match. |

Madeline: Subverted in "Madeline's Christmas" when all the girls except Madeline, Miss Clavel, a mouse, and the doctor all catch colds. They say that their Christmas trip is off, but then Marie cures them, and then their families all come to the school to share Christmas with them. Subverted in "Madeline and the Costume Party" where the girls all get chickenpox and worry that they won't be able to attend the party, but they get better in time for it after all. |

Ron can't join Harry and Hermione in using the Time-Turner in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban because Snuffles (Sirius Black in dog form) nearly tears his leg off.

Calvin and Hobbes: In one strip, Calvin tries to invoke this by trying to catch a cold by sticking his head out the window because he forgot to do his homework and so doesn't want to go to school. Another strip had Calvin's father preparing dinner because his mother was sick, leading to an incident of Dads Can't Cook. One strip had Calvin sick and his mom thought he was trying to invoke this to get out of going to school. It's only when she realizes he's aware that it's Saturday that she understands it's actually serious. |

Happened several times in Sesame Street: Played with the time the young Gabi was sick on a Birthday Episode and her friends couldn't come to her birthday party. In one episode, Prairie Dawn wakes up with a cold after sleeping over with the Rodriguez family. Unfortunately, she's supposed to play the piano for a pageant on that day. After taking a nap, she comes up with the idea to have someone fill in for her. Big Bird suggests Bob do it, and he puts on a falsetto and a dress in order to do so. When Prairie Dawn hears of this, she begs him to put the voice back on and narrate the pageant again for her, which he reluctantly does. Another time Grandmama Bear has a cold, so an older Gabi has to babysit. A fourth time Big Bird and Zoe both have colds, so they can't have a play date (they have a "play date by proxy" with Telly). A fifth time Gina was out sick from running the daycare, so Savion filled in. Another time, Maria has a stomach virus and is sent to the hospital, so she can't do her job. She comes back later in the day, though. "You've Got to Be Patient to Be a Patient" is a song all about this: it's about how you can't go out and play while sick, so you'll just have to be patient. It's sung once to Big Bird when he has a lung infection, once to Maria when she has her stomach virus, and once to a little girl when she has the flu. In the song "Best Friend Blues", Ernie sings about how Bert can't play with him because he's sick. |

In the episode of The Wonder Years "Goodbye", Kevin gets tutored after class by his math teacher; however, shortly before the midterm, his teacher suddenly tells Kevin he will not be available to tutor him anymore until the test. Kevin feels betrayed and sabotages his test as a result; the next Monday, he finds out that his teacher had been sick and that was why he had not been available to tutor Kevin, and his teacher had died over the weekend. It turns out one of his last acts the teacher did was "misplace" Kevin's test, giving Kevin the chance to take the test again. | |

Digimon Adventure: Kari misses summer camp due to being sick with a cold. This means she's unable to join the other DigiDestined on the first trip to the Digital World. Without the benefit of her empathic powers, it becomes impossible for Homeostasis (the organization of good guys) to communicate to the kids why they've been brought to the Digital World. Later, the team has to do a lot of rushing and panicking before finding out the hard way that Kari is the eighth DigiDestined child and needs to join them and be kept safe from Myotismon. On the other hand, Gatomon wasn't available to protect her at the beginning of the kids' journey, either, so she might have been doomed if she had joined the other kids in the Digital World right away, in which case both the Digital and real worlds would have been doomed, as well. | |

Zigzagged in one story in Archie comics: Riverdale discovers a speedster, whereupon they field him as a shortstop. There, he easily snags anything hit to the pitcher's right. A crosstown rival team gets a thug on base, where the thug deliberately slams his cleats into the speedster's leg, hobbling him. However, it turns out that the speedster can also throw Major League-grade pitches, whiffing rival batters with even greater ease. | |

Subverted in The Magic School Bus. Ms. Frizzle's class is frantic because they're getting ready to do Broadcast Day and Ralphie is unaccounted for. When his mom calls in to tell Ms. Frizzle he's sick, they respond by coming to him and setting up in his room so he can participate in the broadcast -– which ends up entailing the class going inside his body and filming his white blood cells fighting the germs. After it's over, Ms. Frizzle and the class leave Ralphie to rest. | |

Mentioned on Springhole: In "Plotting, Conniving, & Manipulating- What it Is and What it Isn't", a hypothetical example is that a conniver wants to stop a treaty between the Redlanders and the Bluelanders and knows that Jessie from Redland loves dogs while Peter from Blueland hates them, so the conniver plans to get the two of them interacting to put Peter in a bad mood. It points out that one of the ways this could go wrong is if Jessie got food poisoning and "[spent] the whole day in her hotel room puking her guts out". It also mentions a flu as an example of why someone's supporters aren't available. In the Logical Fallacies article about the Just World Fallacy (the fallacy that everyone deserves what they get) mentions a hypothetical scenario where a woman gets sick and has to pull out of a competition, so her competition feels that they must've deserved something to get the lucky break. |

A boy helps her follow one of Joey's duels from her hospital bed using a laptop. After Serenity leaves the hospital, she takes her bandages off and recovers her eyesight just in time to save Joey from being drowned in the bottom of the ocean by a booby trap which drags him down there. | |

Subverted in Tombstone, when Doc Holliday wants to accompany Wyatt Earp to his private duel with Johnny Ringo, which Wyatt is convinced he cannot win. Doc has tuberculosis and can't get out of bed, and plaintively asks Wyatt what it's like "to wear one of those," meaning his deputy badge. It's all subterfuge — Wyatt gives him the badge to make him feel better and goes to his meeting only to find that Doc (who is really sick, but not feeling quite as poorly as he made out) has beaten him there and killed Johnny Ringo for him. | |

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: In "The Last Straw", Greg gets sick the day he's meant to go camping with his father Frank, so they stay at a motel together to have a do-over. In "Rodrick Rules", Rodrick is sick on the day of school photos, so Frank sends in a photo of him, but he was younger in the photo. In "Old School", a girl deliberately gives herself food poisoning and a boy deliberately makes himself sick by eating deodorant, so that they will be sent home from the farm they're staying at because they miss their parents. |

Pokémon: The Series: Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl: The episode, "Dressed For Jess Success" has Jessie sick, leaving James having to cross-dress as her "Jessilina" persona to win one of her contests. Not only does he fool the audience, but it actually turns out to be a rare case Team Rocket Wins, to the point Jessie feels a bit offended he may have done a better job than her. Pokémon the Series: XY: In the episode "Battling at Full Volume!", Ash ends up getting sick which has Serena taking her time to help him get better.

Space Jam sees most of the Tune Squad literally getting crushed by the Monstars. With only four players left intact, the Tune Squad fields the non-athletic Stan Podolak, who actually scores despite being gang-tackled and Squashed Flat. Now, the Tune Squad faces a loss by forfeit, until Bill Murray appears in a Big Damn Heroes moment (complete with imitation fanfare), filling the fifth player's slot. | |

In The Midnight Gang, Sally has a serious illness (it acts like cancer but it's left ambiguous) and so sometimes is too weak or too busy getting treatment to go on adventures. However, Tom starts out injured, and Robin and Amber are injured and stay injured throughout the book, yet they all still go on adventures. | |

This happens a couple of times in books that are part of The American Girls Collection: In "Changes for Molly", Molly decides to go to bed with her hair soaking wet as part of an attempt to curl it, but she catches a cold and ends up missing the Miss Victory pageant she was looking to tap dance in. Older brother Ricky says the replacement wasn't as good of a dancer. In "Josefina's Surprise", the titular character is asked to play the part of Maria (Mary) in her village's Las Posadas procession, but she doesn't have the nerve and turns it down. She undergoes character development over the course of the book, and when Christmas Eve comes and the older village girl tapped to play Maria in her stead gets sick, she's ready to take on the role. |

In Chapter 20 of Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun (animated as the latter half of episode 6), Sequential Artist Nozaki fell sick and bedridden on the day before his deadline. He asks his assistants Hori, Sakura, and Wakamatsu to write the dialogue and apply screentones. The result was so much Mood Dissonance that Nozaki decides on the following day that he should ask for an extension. | |

Zigzagged in the Horrid Henry episode "Henry's Sick Day". Despite the title, Henry only fakes being sick to wag school, but his little brother Peter really is sick and has to stay home from school. Their mother then gets sick and is bedridden so Henry has to wait on them both. At the end, their father is also sick, though he's already done his work for the day. | |

Star Trek: Voyager: In "Resolutions", Janeway and Chakotay have a virus and so they get put on another planet where it doesn't affect them so that they can find a cure, while Tuvok takes over. In "Day of Honour", B'Elanna mentions that three background engineers were off sick. In "Relativity", the temporal shifts happening on Voyager cause "space sickness" in some of the crew, including Tom Paris's partner in double ping-pong, so he partners with Seven of Nine instead. |

In the "Aunt Maude" episode of Milly, Molly, the title character has a broken leg and so Milly and Molly look after her garden for her. They end up getting sick as there is an epidemic of an unknown illness, but they recover. In "Dog Walking Service", Humphrey has chickenpox and cannot walk his dog so Milly and Molly do. Zigzagged in "Class Concert". Initially, both Milly and Molly are going to sing in the concert, but then Milly gets eliminated, not because there's anything wrong with her, but because she's a bad singer. Molly then loses her voice (though not due to illness) and Aunt Maude has Milly make her a "special cure". We don't know until the last minute if she'll be able to sing in the concert, but eventually she can sing in the concert. |
