The original "sick man of Europe" was the country of Turkey (then the Ottoman Empire), during the middle of the 19th century.

The country was described as being sick, or decrepit, by Russian tsar Nicholas I around 1853, primarily because of its internal financial disarray, and its failures in several wars.
