Do you have access to magic? Because if you’re just a normal person in a medieval world you have a pretty high chance of dying from an infection from some random small injury, and never mind the monsters or whatever.
Alternatively, if you are an NPC with plot armor you’re probably good.
Medieval societies already had some division of labor, even actual medieval medicine experts generally knew enough to treat small cuts. Since it’s a relatively high-magic world (Divinity’s Rivellon), chances are decent that they have actual healing magic, too (whether that’s actually accessible to peasants and random foreigners is another matter TBF). So I’m not saying the medicine I could access would necessarily be great from a rich western country’s perspective, but trying to survive there for a year isn’t exactly a death sentence, either. Lots of other game worlds would be way worse.
Also, I’m already severely chronically ill and contemporary medicine was so far unable to do anything about it. Actual magic might just do the trick.
