<def-root>This frame deals with a <fen>Healer</fen> treating and curing an <fen>Affliction</fen> (the injuries, disease, or pain) of the <fen>Patient</fen>, sometimes also mentioning the use of a particular <fen>Treatment</fen> or <fen>Medication</fen>. This frame differs from Medical_intervention in that this frame deals only with cases in which the <fen>Patient</fen> is cured of the <fen>Affliction</fen>, not just treated for the <fen>Affliction</fen>.

<ex><fex name="Healer">Isis</fex> then <t>cured</t> <fex name="Patient">Re</fex> <fex name="Treatment">by reciting a spell</fex>.</ex>
<ex>Another student became convinced that <fex name="Healer">God</fex> was going to <t>heal</t> <fex name="Patient">the clergyman</fex> <fex name="Affliction">of his cancer</fex>.</ex></def-root>
<def-root>The Healer, anyone who treats or cures the Patient, occurs as the External Argument of verbs: <ex><fex name="Healer">Doctors</fex> <t>alleviated</t> his suffering. </ex></def-root>
<def-root>This is the sufferer of the injury, disease or pain and can occur as an NP Object in this frame. However, Patient may not be expressed as a separate Frame Element but frequently occurs as the possessor of the Affliction, an example of FE Conflation: (See section on Conflation.)
<ex>Acupuncture <t>cured</t> <fex name="Patient">Pat</fex> of his depression.</ex>
<ex>Acupunture <t>cured</t> <fex name="Patient">Pat's</fex> depression.</ex>
The Patient may therefore not be tagged in a sentence although explicitly identified. </def-root>
<def-root>The Frame Element Affliction is generally the NP Object of a verb, frequently incorporating the Patient as a possessor, as described above:
<ex>This potion <t>heals</t> <fex name="Affliction">a broken heart</fex>.</ex>
<ex>The potion <t>healed</t> <fex name="Affliction">Kim's broken heart</fex>. </ex></def-root>
<def-root>The FE Treatment is used for treatments and means, distinguished by separate FEs in FN-1.
<ex>He emphasized treatment <fex name="Treatment">by surgical means</fex>. </ex>
<ex>He will undergo <fex name="Treatment">radiation</fex> treatment. </ex>
A method used to treat the Affliction can be the External Argument of these verbs, or expressed in a PP Complement:
<ex><fex name="Treatment">These herbs</fex> can <t>cure</t> insomnia.</ex>
<ex>Insomnia can be <t>cured</t> <fex name="Treatment">with herbs</fex>. </ex>
Target nouns (e.g. therapy, treatment, etc.) will NOT be tagged with this FE.</def-root>

<def-root>The injested, applied, injected, etc. substance designed to cure the Patient.
