Also, Will, bear in mind that you'll be lacking the basic infrastructure you'll need to pursue modern medicine. I assume you'll be able to make some bread mold pretty easily, but then you'll have to extract the penicillin (bread mold by itself will make people sick) - how are you going to do that? You'll need sterile equipment for many applications. You'll need - at the very least - metallurgy, plastics (go find petroleum to make plastic from), distillation, chemical processing facilities........... is it any wonder doctors were using leeches before the advent of mass production? For the first vaccination - smallpox, in (I think) the 1790s - Edward Jenner actually put liquid out of smallpox pustules into healthy patients to innoculate them. That's a high risk vaccination, right?
Until you do figure these things out, you'll need to feed and clothe yourself. I suppose you could go to the nearest abbey and request the protection and help of the bishop, but how long could you do that?
