Annemehr:
Actually, I think Bill would be just the man for the job.  He *is* the 
doctor, not the nurse.

There is a hint as to what he deals with in PoA, in Ron's birthday 
letter to Harry:

"It's amazing here in Egypt.  Bill's taken us around all the tombs and 
you wouldn't believe the curses those old Egyptian wizards put on 
them.  Mum wouldn't let Ginny come in the last one.  There were all 
these mutant skeletons in there, of Muggles who'd broken in and grown 
extra heads and stuff." [ch. 1]

You might think extra heads aren't so bad, but I wonder what "and 
stuff" meant -- not to mention whatever may have happened to the long-
gone fleshy parts of their bodies and the fact that they never got out 
of the tombs alive...

And yet, because of the talents of some curse-breaker, the Weasleys 
(well, most of them) could just stroll in for a bit of sightseeing.
