  The Story of Miach and His Sister - ADF Neopagan Druidism
As Miach became less of a boy and more of a man, he shared in the bounty of trust given to the physician, and assisted his father in the most intimate of matters.
Miach was of a generous nature, and tried without success to convince his father to share some lesser cures with the community, so that the suffering endured while traveling, or sending a messenger and waiting for the physician's visit, would be unnecessary.
Miach had been set to stir the water with the root end of a long birch sapling, while other men were setting stones in the sides of the well to stop them from collapsing.

 Miach
Miach was a son of Dian Cécht the head physician of the Tuatha Dé Danann.
Miach was a proponent of the method of natural healing of a person's own body rather than using prosthetics and artificial devices.
Dian Cécht was so jealous of Miach that he killed him and all the healing herbs grew from his grave which his sister Airmid then categorized and named according to their healing properties.

Renal specialist Peter Miach was testifying before an official inquiry examining how Jayant "Jay'' Patel, 56, was allowed to practice medicine in Australia's Queensland state despite a 20-year history of surgical negligence claims in Oregon and New York.

Miach transferred the woman, who also had diabetes and was suffering from possible kidney failure, to his unit and treated her for several weeks before transferring her to a larger hospital in the state capital, Brisbane.

Together with her father Dian Cecht and her brother Miach, a God of surgery, she tended a sacred spring that brought the dead back to life.
Dian Cecht, jealous because he could not compete with Miach's surgical skills or Airmid's powers of regeneration, killed his son and confused the herbs that grew from his grave so that mortal humans would not share in the power and immortality of the Gods.
After that, Miach was buried by Dian Cecht, and three hundred and sixty-five herbs grew through the grave, corresponding to the number of his joints and sinews.
