Patient's running a fever, right? You use your-- you use magic to take it down a notch, or you take it away completely 'cause it's a bad time, maybe lethal. But maybe the fever is the body's response to something. Maybe that's not the illness, it's just a defense mechanism against the illness.
So you're healing the wrong thing. Because the illness is caused by a virus, and I can go into that but seriously, it's all written down, probably fascinating stuff. For other people. For whom this is news.
