[take medical advice]   means   (today)...   get tested, get examined


in the old joke...   a guy runs into a doctor at a Party,
                      describes his (health) conditions....(at length),
                       and asks the Doctor:
                                    [What should i take?]

           And the doctor says:    [Take (medical) advice]
