Get an Artificer, and you'll be going even further.Yup. Healing powers like Healing Word aren't supposed to be the resource management end of it - your surges are. Once those are gone no more healing for you (at least no surge based healing!). I personally love this as it means the party can generally go through 5-6 full out combats a day before needing that extended rest. The record in my group was 9 combats between extended rests.
