I'm thinking back to divine healing in the books and... Krondor: the Betrayal, is the only one where I recall any use of magical healing. Even in The Assassins, when a priest is summoned to heal a wound, all he does is basically purge it with fire to remove the infection/poison and then allow natural healing to take its course.

Even in Silverthorn, the priests can't actually cure Anita, the best they can do is put her on ice until some perfectly normal adventure hobos slog it out into the wilds, grab the cure and bring it back.

Really, that still leaves it as kind of a big deal, though- in a setting without modern antibiotics, being able to burn the infection out of a wound, even if the wound has to heal the long way afterwards, is still going to save a lot of lives.
