What do you mean you “deserve” sick days? Aren’t you legally given those?
For instance, I can call in two days a month and say “I’m sick, staying home, not working”. If I’m not that badly off, then I can call in as much as I want (within reason) and say “I’m sick but working from home”. At any point, I can say “I’m sick, going to hospital”.
Few American employers provide actual sick days. Instead you can pull from your pool of paid time off (which doubles as vacation for many jobs, although some do have a separate vacation pool that can only be used for scheduled time off) or just have an unpaid absence.
No. I don’t get any sick days at all for any reason. There are two kinds of leave at my job: scheduled, and unscheduled. If it was preapproved 2+weeks in advance by you submitting a slip and the boss signing it and then getting back to you, then it was scheduled. Anything else is unscheduled, and technically I can be disciplined for it.

No. We are not given those.
The people who we trust to secure those rights for us that you take for granted are useless unless they’re blocking progress.
