Not really. But I have to say that I have not heard physicians claim that
they are healers. Whatever they do, like prescribing antibiotics or
removing neoplasms, they seem to insist that the patient does the
healing. Some of what they do involves prevention rather than healing.
Nevertheless, there are more than those who refer to themselves as faith
healers (it should be miraculous healers) who are a problem for me. I
think of homeopaths, naturopaths, purveyors of laetrile and other
nostrums, a Pilipino (Filipino to Spanish speakers; Philippine to others)
who claimed to do surgery without breaking the skin, and the like.

However, if any of this troubles you, please revise until it feels right.

I am highly skeptical of those who make their living by healing. I read a
book by a physician years ago...
