I think maybe you mean 大夫やって
Not 大夫やって

Maybe that is why you are having trouble.

Anyway:
"(I/He/She/etc) said (I'm/he's/she's/etc) fine."

You can get the exact meaning from the context.

It's a Kansai way of saying "It's alright.", "I heard it/he/she/they were alright.", etc. depending on the intonation used on the やって part. The standard Japanese version of this is 大丈夫だって.

What yuriyuri said about the kanji mistake still stands.
