The Hero may be feeling under the weather, but the world isn't going to stop just so they can take a rest. They're going to have to haul themselves up and get to work, either because they're simply that dedicated or because the latest situation is something only they can handle, healthy or not. Other characters may try to keep them in bed, but it's all in vain. Naturally, this tends to put the hero at a handicap. If the mission involves stealth, they may find themselves in need of an Anti-Sneeze Finger. Malfunction Malady could be invoked if the hero has powers or magic. If their biggest concern is other characters coaxing them back to bed, they might try Feigning Healthiness. Alternatively, a character may try to get themselves sick, only to have to go to work anyway. Truth in Television for some Workaholic types or if the boss says it's absolutely necessary to come to work that day. However, it's normally discouraged as the potential to infect other workers and lowered performance can make the sick employee more of a liability. Even more discouraged today than it used to be due to the COVID-19 Pandemic heightening awareness of protecting others from sickness. Compare I Can Still Fight!, for the Serious Injuries version and Pulled from Your Day Off for times character(s) have to come in to work despite being on break rather than being sick. Worf Had the Flu is a related trope where a Badass who suffers a lapse of badassery can claim some justifying excuse (such as illness) for their loss. Commonly seen in those Obsessed with Perfect Attendance, who refuse to miss a day of work or school even if they really should stay home. Sub-Trope of Sick Episode. |

In The Amazing Spider-Man (Lee & Ditko) #12, Spider-Man fought Doctor Octopus while seriously ill, which caused his powers to fade. Ock defeats him, unmasks him, and is convinced by Peter's classmates that Parker can't possibly be Spider-Man, especially given the feeble fight he'd put up, and he was just dressing up. Years later, during Civil War (2006), Peter reveals his identity and Ock goes on a rampage at the realization that he'd not only been repeatedly defeated by a teen, but had known the truth for years. | |

Fireman Sam In "Poorly Penny", Penny has a cold, but insists on staying at the fire station, as it's Sam's day off and she doesn't want to bring him in. However, later on, her cold worsens and she develops a fever, and Sam, being the workaholic that he is, comes roaring in to save her. In "Froggy Fantasy", Elvis hauls off to work despite having a cold, and his sneezing keeps getting in the way. Station Officer Steele insists to him that firefighters carry out their duties no matter how ill they are (despite that in "Poorly Penny", he told Penny the exact opposite). |

In Time Squad, with Otto sick with a cold, Buck and Larry are forced to solve a mission without him; this doesn't work out because the two are clueless about American history and the signing of the Declaration of Independence and have to repeatedly go back to the satellite and ask Otto what to do next because they are so dependent on his knowledge. In the end they give up and drag a very sick Otto out to 1776 to have him recite the opening to the Declaration, where he then passes out from exhaustion. | |

Run with the Wind: A tragic example during Day 1 of the Hakone Ekiden race. Shindo is struck with a bad cold due to overworking himself with the team's administration duties, but he refuses to withdraw from the race as it would mean Kansei University having to drop out altogether. He astonishingly manages to finish his section before collapsing, but his poor form leads to him being outrun by almost everyone previously behind him and the team falls to 20th place after Day 1. Everyone, from his teammates to his family back at home, is driven to tears when watching him. | |

In Brooklyn Nine-Nine, the incredibly tough Detective Rosa Diaz plans to do this when she comes down with a cold while trying to make a breakthrough in a major case. It's subverted, however, since she ends up going hyper after taking too much cold medicine, then crashing and sleeping for ten hours straight, so doesn't manage to get a single useful thing done whatsoever. The other characters help out and get her the information she needs in the meantime. | |

The Dick Van Dyke Show: Defied in "The Meershatz Pipe". Rob gets the flu. He tries to go in to work, regardless of how horrible he's feeling. However, Laura forcibly keeps him in bed. When he sneaks out while she's asleep, Mel pulls rank and sends him home before he can jeopardize Alan's health. All the time, the others keep telling Rob that he should stay home until he recovers. In "The Death of the Party", Rob tries to feign healthiness so that Laura won't either scold or spurn him for ruining a party after she warned him about going out early in the morning. It works well enough for most of the evening, but he eventually collapses during "charades." |

Batman: Knightfall: Invoked. Bruce Wayne is already suffering from sleep deprivation and the flu when Bane engineers a mass breakout at Arkham Asylum... and is waiting for him when he finally staggers back into the manor. Batman: Noël is a Christmas Carol-inspired stand alone comic, where Bruce is suffering from pneumonia throughout the entire comic but still insists on staying out in the snow fighting crime. Batman: No Man's Land: Tim Drake had a fight in the sewers with Ratcatcher that left him ill after ending up in the sewage with scratches and bites and having to deal with Mr. Freeze and Killer Croc while trying to get back on his feet. Robin (1993) #102: Stephanie Brown picks up a 24 hour cold which inconveniences her the most when trying to talk to perps as her stuffy nose males her difficult to understand. |

Beautifully subverted in Phineas and Ferb, where hapless evil nemesis Dr. Doofenshmirtz calls the heroic organization that's supposed to be foiling him and tells them he's too sick to do anything evil that day. Equally-sick Major Monogram (who plays this trope straight) is outraged at this breach of professionalism and sends Agent P to get Doofenshmirtz up and running so he can do his job. | |

Star Trek: Star Trek: The Next Generation: Justified in "The Naked Now", when Dr. Crusher still works on her cure for the disease that makes the victim uninhibited despite being infected. She may have been infected, but she was the only one qualified. In "The Battle" Picard insists on continuing to work despite increasingly severe headaches which unknown to him are being caused by the Ferengi Bok using a thought maker on him. Star Trek: Voyager. When Tuvok experiences his pon farr he insists on manning Tactical in an emergency (incidentally one of the symptoms of pon farr is severe lack of judgment, so probably the only reason The Captain allowed this is because he lied and claimed it was the flu instead). In the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Sleeping Dogs", Malcolm Reed is part of a team that investigates a disabled Klingon warship despite having a nasty head cold. It does come in handy, though, as his stuffy nose isn't affected by the reek on board. |

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: Not "working," but "going on the tour of a lifetime": the story mentions in passing that Augustus Gloop has a cold on the day of the factory tour, which makes it all the more disgusting when he drinks with his bare hands from (and then falls into) the chocolate river being used to make candy for billions of people. This detail is so minor that most adaptations leave it out, but the 2004 stage musical Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka plays it up slightly, making his fall into the chocolate result from an Ill-Timed Sneeze. | |

Towards the end he develops a sickly green glow as he gets sicker but he doesn't have time to rest since Lois ends up missing. Turns it he was infected with some sort of kryptonite virus. The Last Days of Superman: Kal-El gets infected with an incurable Kryptonian disease. Even so, he attempts to carry out his most important tasks, but he collapses before finishing the first of them, and Supergirl and his other allies must take over for him. The Leper from Krypton: Superman attempts to keep operating as a hero even though his highly contagious disease is killing him. |

Kim Possible: In "Sick Day", both heroes and villains work through the cold. Kim, Drakken, Ron, Shego and Duff Killigan all end up with colds as they take turns stealing an experimental ray back and forth from each other — none of them knowing what it does. Ultimately the ray gun gets destroyed and ironically it turns out it was designed to cure the common cold. The episode also contains a couple of aversions. In the latter portion of the episode, Kim's mom insists that she stay in bed and rest, so Ron goes after the device by himself. He runs into Shego, who doesn't lift a finger to stop him, apparently because she's called in sick and is off the clock. | |

Spider-Man loves this trope, as it's been seen in several animated incarnations. Spider-Man (1967): In "Horn of the Rhino", a can of pepper borrowed from Aunt May's kitchen is used to get Rhino also sneezing, just long enough to throw his attacks off. The Spectacular Spider-Man: In the second season premiere, Spidey manages to beat Mysterio while also coming down with a cold. Ultimate Spider-Man (2012): In "Back in Black", Peter suffers from a cold while dealing with the return of Venom, now being used by his best friend Harry Osborn. At the end of the episode, Peter has gotten over his cold, but it is revealed it has spread to his teammates, who are not happy about it. |

Spider-Man: In The Amazing Spider-Man (Lee & Ditko) #12, Spider-Man fought Doctor Octopus while seriously ill, which caused his powers to fade. Ock defeats him, unmasks him, and is convinced by Peter's classmates that Parker can't possibly be Spider-Man, especially given the feeble fight he'd put up, and he was just dressing up. Years later, during Civil War (2006), Peter reveals his identity and Ock goes on a rampage at the realization that he'd not only been repeatedly defeated by a teen, but had known the truth for years. The most famous is probably Spider-Man having a cold The Night Gwen Stacy Died. A special mention goes out to the Grim Hunt storyline, in which the villains actually plan their attack to take place when he's sick using the precognitive abilities of Madame Web. One comedic short in The Amazing Spider-Man (2014) Annual had Spider-Man terrifying a group of villains by not speaking, which is considered a massive Out-of-Character Moment for him, as it meant he was pissed. Actually, he had laryngitis this time. |

Sailor Moon is so weak from her illness that she is almost unable to perform her final attack. Episode 19 of the first season has Rei down with a head cold, and Ami is shown trying to nurse her back to health. When Sailor Moon (who was still shaky in her role as a Senshi) winds up in troubled, Sailor Mercury and Mars (complete with a face mask) show up to help. |

Etra chan saw it!: Akane came to work with a fever. Kuroki, the assistant manager tries to send her home but she insists on working. He relents on the condition that she wear her mask. This earned an complaint from a customer since she was coughing and sneezing frequently. Tsutsuji tries to get her to stop coughing openly but she doesn't listen because she is a part timer. Eventually Kuroki contacts the manager, Akamatsu to take her home. | |

The Handmaid's Tale: This is Enforced on the Marthas, as when a Martha is viewed as "past her prime", she is sent to die a slow, painful death in the Colonies. Offred recalls how Rita was sick with the flu and collapsing around the house, but still had to act as though she was alright and did her duties as best she could. This is in comparison to the Wives, who get so bored they sometimes pretend to be sick so their friends will come over and take care of them. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer once ended up in the hospital in "Killed By Death", as a result of trying to fight Angelus while having the flu. However, a monster turns out to be preying on the children while she's there, and the flu ends up allowing her to see and fight it. | |

Star Trek: Voyager. When Tuvok experiences his pon farr he insists on manning Tactical in an emergency (incidentally one of the symptoms of pon farr is severe lack of judgment, so probably the only reason The Captain allowed this is because he lied and claimed it was the flu instead). | |

Piper does it twice on Charmed. In season 1 episode "The Wendigo", Piper is exhausted, feverish, and having dizzy spells at work, but stays in because, well, Piper's like that. In season 2 "Awakened", she's having coughing fits and "feels funky," but she stays at work until she collapses. Both situations are gross because Piper serves food. | |

OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes: In "Rad's Alien Sickness", a bioweapon developed by Prof. Venomous gives K.O. and his co-workers Rad and Enid nasty colds. Enid and K.O. go home early and recover, but Rad stubbornly insists on trying to work through the cold because he's close to stacking his one-millionth box. When Enid and K.O. come in to work the next day, they find Rad collapsed in the stock room, sicker than ever, and desperately try to cure him. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Justified in "The Naked Now", when Dr. Crusher still works on her cure for the disease that makes the victim uninhibited despite being infected. She may have been infected, but she was the only one qualified. In "The Battle" Picard insists on continuing to work despite increasingly severe headaches which unknown to him are being caused by the Ferengi Bok using a thought maker on him. |
