Maybe not healing power, but they sure do make being sick a little more bearable. What are you favorite games to play when you're bed ridden and feeling like crap? I've got a nasty flu and Final Fantasy IV Advance is keeping me company.

but generally I'd rule out anything remotely complex, as well as anything which requires dexterity or reflex in any manner. This doesn't leave much...BUT!!!
Harvest Moon. A perfect slow-paced, relaxing, time-killing game. Usually, I don't so much as need to plot out crop formations because I've already done so at an earlier time.
Pretty much every other option requires too much thinking or, you know, actually doing things.
Of course, we could also go by the other definition of 'sick'(the one where you skip school/work). In that case, I play something that's -really- good. Actually, for some of classes, it doesn't even need to be all that good...

The best puzzle game in creation is Devil Dice. No, I didn't forget about Tetris.
Researched, noted, and soon eBaying will occur.
Understatement of the year.
I just played that game for about 2 hours lol.
I will play a dangerous hill over and over and over and over again.
In that same vein, Disgaea. For whatever reason, leveling characters in that game is lots of fun.
Although when the final enemy criticals your healer the blood may get a tad... angry.
I've been fiddling a bit with Pyro Sand 2, trying to get a good chain going. I've tried to get it set up so that I manually light a fuse which detonates a horizontal line of C4, which allows salt that was above the C4 to fall into the water below the C4, which allows napalm to flow out through the hole in the side of the wall left by the C4 onto some plant and pile up until it reachs a torch, burning the napalm and setting the plant on fire, which eventually burns through to some gunpowder which explodes.
I haven't been able to not detonate the napalm with the C4 yet, though.
I played the hell out of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon while I was up at Mayo Clinic last year.

I think it made it worse.
On the plus side I was so delirious I can only remember flying through some rings.

And if it was, everyone would tell you to GTFO.

But other than that, any game you enjoy should take your mind off things really.
Do you want to get better or pass out from stress? Seriously, RE4 is tense enough.
Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.
And yes, Passing out is good. Especially in the middle of the Krauser fight.

I think it took me an hour to beat the first level.
When I was younger, I was sick for like two weeks. But, I did clear Super Mario World 2-6 during that time. I literally played and slept all day.
Currently playing: Infamous, Resident Evil 5
Need to play: Shadow Complex, Uncharted 2, Ratchet and Clank: ACIT, MW2, Alpha Protocol
I had pneumonia a few years back and FFIX got me through it, that was a unique hybrid of being miserable and happy at the same time.
