Another player who was at the table during the incident sent me this meme after the problem player in question (they had a history) left the group chat.

Felt like sharing it here because I'm sure more people should keep this kind of thing in mind.

If I were a DM, I'd consider magic to be another human sense. It can't fix the body more than the body existed before injury, and still doesn't fix all injuries. So like a blind monk that trains can extend magic to act like an echolocation, but they were born blind so can't be unblinded. Or someone broke their back and it healed incorrectly causing paralysis, only highly specialized magic has a chance of fixing it.

    Which is actually how it works in the real world too!

    Except it's called medicine instead of magic. Trolololol.

    Doctors have specialisations, some are very very specialised: e.g. specific types of neurosurgeon.

    Also, accidents happen. Sometimes the doctor/magic-user gets it catastrophically wrong.
