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.
