Kilieit and Syranelle both already said as much, but healing in RP can be and is often quite different from healing in the lore. Essentially, as Kilieit put it: RPing a healer is mostly what that person wants for their character and consequences, or what is necessary for the scene/event.
If you're looking for what's in the lore for a healer's capabilities, and what kind of healing is actually out there, I've put together a pretty exhaustive compilation of Eorzea's healing methods, hospitals, and long-term conditions here.
The TL;DR is:
Hope this helps! ^^

The TL;DR is:
- A healer can only do so much, and much of what a healer can do depends on the healer.
- Restorative magicks (such as Cure or Physick) mend physical wounds, knit flesh, close cuts.
- Spells like Esuna or Leeches cleanse humours, remove ailments, and can treat the root cause of symptoms.
- More severe injuries and maladies require long-term, often non-magical, care. A healer can only heal for so long.
- Some injuries cannot be healed. Some conditions are terminal. The dead cannot be restored to true life.
Hope this helps! ^^
