He could probably determine, at least, that it's not a natural/physical thing that's causing this. That it's something outside the realm of medicine.

Not necessarrily. It would depend on the problem and the person's skill in healing. Also, remember that magic is uncommon in this world (or at least it was until recently), and a highly educated person (i.e. a doctor) is unlikely to assume a sickness is magical in nature, although more supersticious people might.

Who said anything about magical? A doctor can tell when something happens that doesn't fall under normal medicine. It could be psychological, even--just not normal medicine.

I guess I'm unclear what you mean by "normal medicine." Seizures are not uncommon, but there is often no simple way to determine the cause of a given seizure. Then, too, the seizure may be brought on by a physical malady which is itself caused by magic. In this case, the symptoms would fall under normal medicine, but the root cause would not.

Epilepsy is uncommon at the man's age, so that narrows it down a bit, at least.

Cutting off his head to determine rabies is also probably out of the question.

Heheh...At this point, yes.

Who exactly is Denther talking to? There's no one in the crow's nest but he...
