Is it even possible for crewmen to recover from sickness?

[Narcoleptic Printer]

I once was trying to get back to port, and on the way almost everyone got sick. I got a whole new crew, and threw out anyone who was sick. I've tried to use medkits but that won't work. In addition, even if they stay at a port and aren't on the ship, they don't get cured. Its been a few months in-game and they don't get cured at all.
Worst part is too, is that I can't get rid of them either. They just sit there in my roster. Forever to shelved.
Am I missing something? Is there a way to cure them? Or get rid of them somehow?

my boat is stuck 20 meters from home and i can't dock because everyone is sick on board and unable to finish the last 20 meters. And the port authorities also appears not to mind a Uboat standing still in their water

If your crew got sick from lack of food (this is the only result that I have witnessed, so far), then a work around is to close the water tight doors to the galley when you are submerged or at Alarm! status. This keeps the cowards in the crew from wolfing down 2 months of food in 4 hours.

This is where shooting worthless crew members would really pay off.

the most close i was when all crew sick was 2000 meters from dock, yeah it's frustating

And they are sick (from lack of food) too fast. My whole crew was sick after 30 minutes of gaming. It isnt realistic. Im also dont know why they are sick from lack of food. The performance may drop, its ok but sick of all crew? Its impossible.

I dont know if this is the same 'sickness' but I had a case where the engineers were using rebreathers to do some repairs, and when their rebreathers ran low after the repairs were completed, they start coughing and spluttering..wandering around bent over and are essentially USELESS to man or beast. Is it the same thing? I have never experienced them starving to death, and apart from a few occassions, have not experienced them 'pigging out' on all the food...but then again, I did lock them out of the galley in case they tried that trick..
I also wanted the skipper to walk around with a gun in his hand as a deterrent, but couldnt get him to do that... lol
