[QUOTE="sabrinathecat, post: 6165549, member: 89838"] I think "Healing" has been abused by the touchy-feely crowd. I also think the "Let it all hang out" went a little too far, and people need to suck it back in a bit. Some problems should just be kept to yourself. (Things I hear some co-workers discuss are... yeeesh. Now I can never not know that unless I get a major concussion or alzheimers.) On the other hand, yes, the medical profession does have to include psychological effects of injury as part of treatment. (Maybe my own little soap-opera would have gone better if my wife had been willing to participate in that. Sorry, no details--you don't need them, and I don't need to get it off my chest.) As far as gaming goes, I sometimes put in NPCs who have suffered gruesome injuries (former Satyr adventurer who lost a leg, fighter who wasn't cured of wasting disease in time) to offset the fact that the PCs are so extremely lucky that their own healers are so efficient and can afford proper care with immediate effect.
