	'''Dr. John Lawn''', usually called "''Mossy''", is probably the only medical [[Doctor\|doctor]] in [[Ankh-Morpork]] actually known to cure or heal anyone.

	Lawn credits his training in [[Klatch]], where patients were expected to get better; he had learnt techniques other Morporkian surgeons distrusted, but which kept patients alive for longer than it took to pay the bill. He also gave free treatment to those who needed it, including those who had been tortured by the Cable Street Particulars.
