Severe depression, stomach ulcers and pneumonia are no simple colds. If you are "really" sick, you can get normal medication in Germany. In addition, many harmless drugs are also available over the counter (ibuprofen, for example).
In the example of your friend, a doctor apparently messed up and did not recognize the seriousness of the situation.This is of course very sad, but not the normal case.
But that's not what this meme was aiming at. It's about a simple cold.
The joke is that simple illnesses in the U.S. are often pushed down with painkillers so that you can go to work.
The body is not allowed the time to recover normally.
