If they're holding you on trumped up allegations demanding a bribe to let you go, that falls under the FCPA's duress exception: http://www.fcpablog.com/blog/2012/11/14/doj-and-sec-release-...

Could you bribe someone to avoid imprisonment for trial in US courts for health or safety reasons?

I don't think the DOJ will necessarily honor that unless you have some kind of health condition and evidence the foreign court is refusing to hear about it.. I don't think anyone in the cases I referenced made medical arguments before bribing officials.
