'Fiddlesticks' or 'fiddlestick's end' has been used to mean something insignificant or 'nothing-at-all' since the 1600s. I suppose the idea is that - when you've reached the end of anything - you've reached 'no thing'. It can be used dismissively in all sorts of situations and not just medical ones.
