I need your suggestions-music with some kind of a medical theme?

I think I'm going to do a musical section for a christmas quiz, and what I was thinking was to have songs/music to identify and then a medical link.
On the one hand there is loads of modern music about mental health and addictions-suprise that, and I have some ideas re Beethoven-deafness and Mozart-poisoning ?mercury , need to go and check,
BUT I need some modern music about illness and disease, in fact any music.
Any suggestions?

Faith No More - Malpractice (great song)

For artists with medical issues, how about some Ian Dury?

Doctor Doctor by Thompson Twins.
Sick of It by The Primitives.
Any of the hundreds of songs called Crazy? Or is that a bit close to the bone?

You Freak Me Out by Girls Aloud (for the line "what I do, do, do when my demons hit, I call 999 and say Get a Doctor!")

And still common themes of drugs and mental illness
It's not a healthy job is is the music industry with regards these two.
Although , perhaps to produce such art your personality is already flawed predisposed
