“Healer!”
The cry rang through the square, wrenching my attention from the poxy old man and his vice grip on my arm. Everywhere I looked townspeople stood gaping at me: some with fingers pointed, others covering their mouths in shock, many more with chests clutched and jaws hanging.
It's interesting. I want to know why those fingers are pointed. The second line is cumbersome. Maybe a little reordering, starting with the gripe of the pox man, then the cry for healer?
