What do they do to sick slaves?

it depends on where you were. If you where a slave coming over to north America on a ship to be sold and you got sick before you reached land they would simply throw you overboard as they wouldn't want a sick slave to get all the other slaves sick. (Sickness would spread very quickly aboard slave ships as slaves were being stuffed into small rooms) If a slave became ill on a plantation it would have to be immediately reported to the overseer or master. The mistress of the plantation was usually responsible for the sick slaves.

Women who were saved, were used in other ways by the camp, as slave labor.
