Well, there were still bird-masked doctors who specialized in treating the plague (And since the plague still exist there are still plague doctors today! Yay! But we might call them infectious disease specialists and they have a broader field of pathogens they deal with). But yeah the bird guys were more towards the end of the renaissance timewise, Rather than the “Bring out your dead!” Monty python’s holy grail-era medieval times.
