What is something that has happened to you that would’ve killed you if you lived in the medieval era??

Could be some accident or illness.

Honestly if I lived in the medieval era I would’ve died at like 6 or 7. I remember getting a very bad fever and my parents taking me to the ER around 3am. Thankfully the medicine and antibiotics worked.

I had intractable epilepsy - basically uncontrollable, frequent seizures. Even on the max amount of meds I was having seizures daily. They said I had a 95% chance of dying if I didn't have a very delicate brain surgery. If this had happened a decade earlier than it did, they wouldn't have been able to do the surgery and I probably would've died.
I'd have been screwed in mideval times. They'd throw epileptics into dungeons and leave them to starve because they thought they were possessed. Ironically it would sometimes temporarily fix seizures because the lack of food would put them into ketosis, which treats seizures.
