[QUOTE="Agback, post: 1296927, member: 5328"] He couldn't lay on hands all that often at first level, nor even at third. And besides: I didn't say that he couldn't heal people. I said he couldn't make a living at it. His problems were: 1. He was too honest and modest to cut the mustard as a faith healer. 2. He was too young to convince people that he was a learned doctor, besides which he was a member of the despised Saxon race. 3. He used suspicious foreign medical techniques that he had learned in Spain, from Saracens and Jews. 4. His wife was jewish, and therefore believed to be a witch or worse. He also associated with other unsavory sorts: eg. foreigners, outcasts, and tax-collectors. 5. Some of the things he did scared people. Like the way his eyes seemed to glow when he talked about God. 6. The local monks (not Monks) didn't like the way he talked about God, and circulated rumours impugning his orthodoxy. 7. His really sick patients, the ones who ought to have been good for several fees a day until they died, got better after one visit. Regards, Agback [/QUOTE]
