"Sickness and Wealth" is an episode of the BBC sitcom, Only Fools and Horses. It was the fifth episode of series 6, and was first broadcast on 5 February 1989. In the episode, Del is suffering from stomach cramps, but refuses to see a doctor. Elsewhere, Del organises a séance. Synopsis Del Boy is suffering from an undiagnosed illness that is giving him severe stomach pains, but he refuses to acknowledge it or to see a doctor because he has a phobia of medical professionals. He is also stressed about work; his recent line in women's summer fashion has not been selling well due to cold weather and he has been unable to pay the rent on the flat for the past three months. In spite of the fact that the Trotters are facing the possibility of eviction, Del is still living the yuppy lifestyle, eating in curry houses and bistros, and drinking and buying rounds in wine bars and pubs, building further debts.

Having convinced Elsie Partridge, Del holds a "dummy run" séance with his friends (Trigger, Boycie, Rodney, Mike and Uncle Albert) in the hall above the Nag's Head. Mike is concerned about "messing with the forces of darkness" due to the pub being built on the site of a public grave for victims of the Great Plague, but Del and Boycie believe it to be fear-mongering. At the séance Elsie gives Boycie a message from his father that Boycie must look after his child (it was previously established that Boycie and his wife Marlene could not have children) and then gives Del a message from his late mother Joan prompting him to go to the doctors. Del still refuses to believe Elsie until Marlene announces she is pregnant, thus confirming his fears that he may be seriously unwell (the message from Joan was actually a ploy by Albert to prompt Del to do the right thing, as he tells Elsie that the only person Del would ever listen to was his mother).
