== [[Film]] ==

* Mr Miyagi of ''[[The Karate Kid]]''. Sort of. He knew some pressure points and techniques to suppress pain.

* ''[[ET the Extraterrestrial (Film)|ET the Extraterrestrial]]'', whose title character heals Elliott's cut finger with his own glowing fingertip.

* ''[[E.T. the Extraterrestrial (Film)|ET the Extraterrestrial]]'', whose title character heals Elliott's cut finger with his own glowing fingertip.

* In ''[[Push]]'', they're called Stitchers. Healing is very painful, and it hurts even worse when they use their power in reverse.

* In the horror film ''[[Five Girls (Film)|Five Girls]]'' a character in a reform school reveals that she has this power by easing the pain of a classmate who was recently spanked with a ruler. [[Fan Service]] demands that she literally lay on hands to the affected area.

Line 115:

* The [[Star Wars]] [[Expanded Universe]]:

** Jedi healers use the Force to help others in this regard- healers include [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/f/f7/Barriss_medstar2.jpg Barriss Offee] and [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/c/c2/Cilghal_egtf.jpg Cilghal].

** Cade Skywalker has a special variant on the technique called [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Force_Resuscitation Force Resuscitation]; it is unique in that it can heal normally fatal wounds rather quickly, as well as corruptive plagues and other such maladies. It also works in reverse; that is, kill people beyond repair. However, it has two major drawbacks; one, the user channels this ability through the dark side (Cade's eyes flash from their usual [[Green Eyes|emerald green]] to a [[Red Eyes Take Warning|blood-red color]] whenever he uses it), and two, the recipient must be willing to accept the healing, or else it won't work.

* The Wizard, from the ''[[Seekers of Truth]]'' books, can do this. It's one of the things that makes him think he's a bit [[Blessed With Suck]] compared to some of the others.

* Mia Cooper of [[The Shapeshifter]] series has this power, it nearly kills her on several occasions because she absorbs people pain. Fortunately she gets better at using it.

Line 150:

** The Nox -- though they brought people back from the dead, so maybe it doesn't really count...

** The [[Our Vampires Are Different|Wraith]] from ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' could heal ''and'' revive people by giving back the life-force they took from someone else. Not that they were in the habit of doing this a lot.

* An episode of "[[Friday the ~~13 th~~ The Series]]" involved a phony faith healer who found a glove that gave him real healing powers. Given the nature of the [[Artifact of Doom|antiques on the show]], there was a nasty twist. Namely, any disease/condition the healer cured was transferred to him-and he had to pass it on to another victim, who would die of the original ailment multiplied a dozen times over. This leads to a rather nasty [[Karmic Death]] on the part of the healer when he tries to heal a bullet wound he receives later in the episode.

* In ''[[Carnivale]]'', this is Ben Hawkins main power, although it always comes with a price.

* The angels in ''[[Supernatural]]'' are shown to possess tremendous healing abilities, being able to heal major injuries and raise the dead with little effort. Naturally, this is the first ability Castiel loses after he defects from Heaven.
