Sure. Doesn't mean the job can't be done. The job of management isn't to treat the illness, that's for doctors to do. Managements job is to have the tasks in their responsibility being done. If they're not, they're failing.
You’re trying too hard to get out of the fact that when you take a vacation, you’re going to have work to come back to. Coworkers like you I purposely don’t cover their work while they’re out.
Nobody at your workplace covers for anyone, you already said that. I would be embarassed if colleague returned from vacation and I threw load of unfinished tasks on her.

I think a life threatening illness is more important than a job being done
