The Earth was mostly the same in the 1300's. Let's use material from that time to do engineering.

Medicine however is not the same. Nor is our understanding of the human body.
For example, a 60 yo doctor would have been born before the first heart transplant, the recipient lasted 18 days. Now 5000 are performed each year and after 5 years 80% of recipients are alive.
