Personally, I would have been dead at 27 (appendix) or crippled at 40 (heel spurs), or dead again at 68 (parathyroid). If through some miracle I survived those things, I would have rotten teeth and be subsisting on gruel.

Even the smallest medical issue back then could lead to death. Calvin Coolidge’s son died in 1924 at the age of 16, while his farther was President. The cause: a blister he got on his foot playing tennis became infected. Think about that...the best medical care available and he dies from a blister on his foot.

All the money in the world could not persuade me to want to go back in time.

Same here. I am sure a couple of things I've encountered (and have essentially forgotten) could have killed me a century ago.
Got my wisdom teeth removed, for example.
If one got an infection (especially that near the heart / brain) that could easily have been fatal. It is a non-issue for us in contemporary times.
