Or patients who can't afford the healers' fees. By the looks of it, all healers more or less dream of belonging to aristocracy. That's not something you can change overnight. If in the meantime suture techniques can save lives, it's well worth developing.Yeah, her methods are well and good, but healing magic is no joke. If you keep a healer on standby, they could mend cuts and more or less render sutures an unnecessary tool outside of, like...magic-immune patients if they even exist.
A problem, not the problem. Not fixing internal problems was a large issue for people who could afford healing magic. Not everybody had access to or could afford healing magic, practitioners are rare and selective. In contrast, anybody with hands can be trained to suture a wound, and needles and thread suited to the task can be made fairly inexpensively, once production lines are in placeI kinda would say that the skin sewing problem is already very well solved by healing magic.
Like, the problem with it before was that it fixed superficial wounds, but not the internal problems.
That's fair. I wonder how difficult it would be to spread healing magic to the commonfolk? I guess magic power might be hoarded by the aristocracy.Or patients who can't afford the healers' fees.

Since magic healing is used so haphazardly in the nation, if they could spread the healing magic among commoners, it would also be of higher efficiency since they could teach it properly, from the basics. Like not doom people who could be easily saved, just because an ignorant magic healer can't fix the problem purely externally and is refusing to even touch the patient. If commoners started to get such benefits, there's no way the nobles, and other wealthy, would actually keep ignoring the chance to stay alive, no matter what the old-school healers tried to say. That would inevitably lead to already established magic healers to seek new knowledge, even if they initially didn't want to.That's fair.

It would almost certainly lead to a political conflict where the establishment tries to crack down, but it would also be quite satisfying if plebian healers were actually better at it than the nobility.Since magic healing is used so haphazardly in the nation, if they could spread the healing magic among commoners, it would also be of higher efficiency since they could teach it properly, from the basics.
