Sometimes with deep cuts the patient dies. The symptoms can vary but people without magic used honey to some success in healing so you dap in some honey before casting the cure wounds and those issues went away. Now you have learned something.Then you start running in to issues relating to ruptured and cut blood vessels. Further experimentation and some anatomical study later and you have a better success rate. Still with the same basic spell. Some anatomical knowledge and some simple herbalism.More time and observation can reveal that some other stuff can substitute for honey and that wine or vinegar, tincture of iodine and so forth can clean wounds. That dirt and fingers can cause infections. You can get a long way with a trick that works and some time and observations. Then some wizards discovers a spell to mend his broom handle, wonders if that would work with broken bones and realises he would nee to see the bones. Makes a note of it on the margins of something or other. Later another magic user reads the spell and the note and thinks they can adapt something to see the bone, tries it out and lot its works at least for simple breaks. Now we have a basic diagnostic and 2 healing tricks.</blockquote>
