If you were deeply injured they were your best chance (if you could afford it)If you lived in a Druidic society somewhere in the woods I assume that Druids would be the best healers. While they don't have the Spontaneous Healing that most Clerics in 3ed had they were still very good at healingIf you lived in a tribal society then perhaps you had a Shaman. Or maybe sometimes Cleric depending on if the DM had the book or not.In 4th you have rituals which allow people to heal diseases and such. Still in the average Human city if you're haemorrhaging a Cleric is still your best choice.  In the tribes Shaman can heal you. Sure rituals are less common amongst them but they can still heal wounds and performa  heal check if someones really sick.However, Druids in 4th edition can no longer heal peoples wounds, although they can still learn a ritual or two.So who would heal in such a society? Clerics are out (since Druids fulfil the religious role) and Shaman are out as well (since I've never heard of a society that was simultaneous Druidic and Shamantic, although I'd love to hear an example)Would Druids multiclass in Cleric (forgetting the fluff but just for the healing power)? Would a separate order of Druids exist (mechanically the same as Laser Clerics but refluffed)? Herb Women (perhaps the Witch class if we ever get it)? Would a Bard be the best fix? Mechanically they have the skills for healing and thematically they seem to fit in quite well (although less as minstral and more as "Lore Keeper")</blockquote>
