Basic Info
The Healercraft is one of the oldest crafts on Pern. Unlike all the crafts but the Beastcraft, it relies on hands-on training for its healers. A child who shows aptitude for the craft often apprentices under his local journeyman healer, training there up to senior apprentice before leaving to train under a Master for their Journeyman rank. Rank and specialist training is indicated in elaborate shoulder knots.

Specialities
After an apprentice achieves Journeyman rank, he chooses a specialty & begins to direct most of his studies as a journeyman towards that calling. Those who don't choose a specialty go on to become general healers who are assigned to more remote holds.
Specialties include:
- nursing
- diagnostics
- pediatrics
- geriatrics
- midwifery
- urology
- herbalology
- dentistry
- surgery
- mindhealing
- massage therapy
- respiratory ailments
- Every Weyr will have at least one urologist and one surgeon.
- Healing on Pern is not extremely advanced. Surgery is rare, due to the Pernese aversion to it. Cesarean sections and repair surgery for 'Fall injuries and the like are the only surgeries commonly accepted due to the risk of infection and shock. Birth defects are virtually unknown, as the Pernese do not have the technology to sustain those born with them. Healers treat their patients in preventative manners for most common illnesses, prescribing tonics and teas that stave off illness.
Suicide
Suicide holds no stigma on Pern, as a person's death is considered a private matter. Euthanasia is practiced when the healer, his patient, and his Master agree that the illness is terminal and cannot be healed. A dragonrider who loses his dragon tends to end his own life, and none see this as wrong.
