This weeks topic for would building is, well ssome would consider fairly topical, *thanksyoucovid19*. Medicine plays an important part in world building and , in some cases can be split in natural medicine and supernatural versions, with natural here refering to any medicine or medical treatments that does not involve arcane, divine powers etc. I was debating myself about calling this “Healers” rather than medicine, but as this is a topic I will be coming back to it felt more approriate to call it medicine instead.
