    You’ve got a horrible infection and a fever?

    I’ll be right over to slit your veins and let all the bad blood out.

    (In fairness I think bloodletting was mostly out of practice by the time actual telephones existed, but lol joke)

    Maybe a more time period accurate one would be:

    Your foot hurts? You think its from a badly fit shoe. Ok. Ok. Come over tomorrow and we will stick your foot into the wildly overpowered and unshielded x ray scope and we’ll see what can be done.
