Medicine in Eorzea |

A very interesting character concept for me would be a doctor or a field surgeon using physical medicine to accompany their Conjuration magics. But I am finding little information on what would be the appropriate practices and technology that would fit within Eorzea. Is there anyone else who has considered these topics and willing to provide insight?

Within lore, are there examples of ailments that Conjurers have not been able to treat effectively? 

Would some basic surgical knowledge help the recovery time of patients, such as sutures over a large laceration before a Conjurer could be located and have their magic applied? And would there have been enough cause for the technology to develop, perhaps before Conjurers were as widespread and available?

After reading several related posts on how magic works, such as here, Conjuration magic seems very similar to older medicine traditions. Such examples are the Five Elements and drawing each elemental power to a being to encourage a patient to heal faster as well as sensing and treating ailments such as diseases or poisons. Perhaps traditional methods involving this view of medicine would have become more in practice, for instance acupuncture and herbs that would help with elemental flows within a patient? 

Also does the existence of Magitek grafts give the potential for earlier surgical methods being known, for instance removing limbs safely as well as an understanding of anatomy?
