By "sick" meaning they had the flu, exhaustion, pneumonia, etc. Not instances where an actor/actress was dying or close to death.

An example is the legendary scene of Indiana Jones shooting the sword guy in Raiders of the Lost Ark because Harrison Ford was sick during the filming of this scene and needed an easy way to take out the sword guy instead of fighting him.

Smart move, Sabrina.
