something to add
We need more realistic things in the game play like the ability to get sick.

leslie3456 Sims can indeed get sick and purchase medicine from the computer or phone (with Seasons telephone gift purchases) to cure themselves. I believe this was added with the Get to Work pack. I don't think it's base game but could be wrong as it's been a part of my game for so long. My Sims are sick way too often actually and it can take a couple of doses of medicine to recover. They can also drink orange juice and brew tea to feel better.
They can also get sick from eating spoiled food or if a vegetarian Sim eats meat or a mermaid or Child of the Ocean (with Island Living) eats fish. Or a pregnant Sim can have sickness too.
Get to Work also adds various illnesses for the active medical career that Sims can diagnose and treat at the hospital during the work day. They include Sweaty Shivers, Gas and Giggles, Llama Flu, Bloaty Head, Burnin Belly, Itchy Plumbob, Starry Eyes and Triple Threat. They can require medication, a shot or even surgery. If I'm playing the medical career I always hate to see any of my played Sims at the hospital reception and I feel the pressure to get their diagnosis and treatment right... especially for my little child Sims! 🥺
Oh my! You've convinced me to try the medical career with one of my sims. It's one of the careers still on my to do list
