By court system, I mean the royal court. Physicians were typically only available to the nobility or perhaps the wealthy. Again, depending on when and where you land, you're likely going to need French and/or Latin.

I suppose I could travel East and establish a sea trade route. That'd be an interesting way to become rich.

I pretended to be Christian from age 14 to maybe 22. I can't imagine that it'd be difficult to avoid saying "No, stupid, the center of the universe is probably empty because the big bang spread stellar material outward. The Earth isn't the center." I know the Bible well enough to pretend.

I suppose, after I've gained wealth and such, I could leave the US and start a colony in the US or Canada (or what would eventually be the US or Canada). I could even end up saving the Native Americans (though I'd have to be careful not to bring European illnesses with me).
