Truthfully, you should not waste your time unless there are no qualified professionals in that area of medicine in her country. If she does not qualify for a general visit visa (lack of social and economic ties) she will not qualify for a medical visit visa either, as the general visit conditions have to be satisfied also.

The applicant must:
meet the requirements of the visitor rules - paragraph 41(iii) to (vii), (ix) to (x) and (xii), and
the requirements of paragraph 51 of the Rules.

I am sure it is (serious) which is why I said you really have no chance with this. People who don't qualify for general visit visas (your sister was refused due to lack of social and economic ties) are also not going to qualify for a medical visit visa. There would need to be diplomatic intervention at an executive level to overcome the barrier.
