Surgeon

Due to the advancements of healing magic surgeons started to become far less popular in the world, dying out completely. Healing magic is capable of remedying ailments without resorting to invasive procedures where surgery would normally be required. The magical healing tended to be better as well since it treated the root cause rather than fixing the symptoms only. With magical healing recovery time is much quicker and the risks associated with surgery are lessened.   With further advancements with magical healing, lost limbs could be regenerated and tissues could be fully restored with no scarring. Examples where this would be massively helpful is patients that have suffered deep wounds or severe burns.   Surgeons also tended to be quite expensive, only nobles could afford one. Now with the rise of magical healing Churches often offer services for donation or entirely free. Even in emergency situations magical healing outperformed surgery by leaps and bounds, you could cast a few spells and stabalize a patient in mere minutes while surgery could take weeks to heal.   Now, while surgery became a dead profession there were some who used it to study the internals of various creatures and stitch them together into horrific beings. These frankenbeings could then be magically brought to life, so one could still argue it wasn't true to being the profession of a surgeon. These frankenbeings did cause some uproar in communities and resulted in it taking longer for surgeons to be replaced by magical healers as the townfolk were afraid of the horrors that were done. It took many years to convince these townfolk that those creations were simply the creation of sick twisted people who deserved to be upheld by the law.   Once magical healing fully replaced surgeons their teachings were lost and people only knew the basics of stablizing a dying person for long enough to get to a magical healer, or better yet carry potions of magical healing to stabilize the patient for them.
