病んでいる間に抗生物質を飲みすぎてはいけない。そうすると、免疫の効率はだんだん悪くなる。それを忘れないでね。
Translation
Don’t take too many antibiotics while you’re sick. Doing so will gradually impair the efficiency of your immune system. Don’t forget that, okay?

「君を失う訳にはいかない」と「君を失っては敵わない」は違います。一つには後者がこの歌です。
Translation / 英訳
“I can’t afford to lose you” and “I can’t stand to lose you” are different. For one thing, the latter is this song.

Is です necessary and/or correct here?

Hi again!
です is what is called a politeness marker and is a basic part of the polite language (丁寧語) together with the ます form of verbs. You can find more detail in this section of Tae Kim’s Guide to Learning Japanese.
Therefore, です is necessary if you are using 丁寧語 to speak to someone. If you were speaking to your senior, you would use です at the end of this sentence and say “仕事が難しいです”. If you were talking to a friend or a coworker, you would be saying “仕事が難しい” and probably add “よ” or “ね” at the end. (More on those particles here (よ) and here (ね)).
In any case, whatever you choose will be correct.
Finally, what calls my attention most is the use of が instead of は. The famous は/が usage… 
I would have expected “仕事は…”, using が gives the idea that you want to say that “The job is the thing that is difficult”.
As the grammar point on が says, が emphasizes what comes before it, while は emphasizes what comes after it. Here is a good article about は and が and here a video on the same theme.
HTH!
EDIT: the situation that Misa describes in minute 24:30 of the video is quite similar to the one that Jay Rubin tells happened to him in the chapter “Wa and Ga, The Answers to Unasked Questions” of his book, to wit:

- Kuroki-san, have you talked to Imada-san recently?
- We exchanged greetings early in the morning, but… why are you asking?
- Yesterday… You know… He looked at me with very angry eyes, almost as if he hates me! Did he say anything about me?
- No, nothing at all. Maybe it was just your imagination? I think it would be better if you try talking to him directly.

I believe it should be 「何も勉強ができない」.
Your variant sounds more like「何でも勉強ができる」(I can learn anything).

Hi! 私も下手ですね。
If you want to say that you are poor at speaking/talking Japanese, I guess ‘話す’ or ‘喋る’ would be more appropriate than ‘言う’.
Your sentence sounds more like “I am poor at saying ‘Japanese’”.

Thanks a lot for the correction!
Yeah, now that I think about it, 言う means “to say”, not “to speak” This why I am 下手 
Also, doesn’t that what I wrote sound more like “I am poor/bad at saying ‘Japanese’.”, since 日本語 means “Japanese”?

Thanks a lot! May I ask why you used で instead of を, tho?
In this case both are really close in terms of meaning. I just wanted to mark 日本語 as something that is required to do the talking (話す):
日本語を話す - to talk Japanese;
日本語で話す - to talk in Japanese.
