The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Sure. I have to leave here in half an hour, and I still have to do something about dinner, so it may be later before I email back to you.

Why do people use the word ministrations?
Well, some good writers use it because it's the right word for what they want to say.
I take it that you've found someone who is less skilled than that. Or even several of them.

Ministrations has a nice quiet feel to it, the proper word for tending to someone, especially in the sense of someone who is hurt.
My personal word bugaboo is the rein vs. reign: One reins in their feelings/emotions/actions, much like reining in a horse. Granted, not so many people are familiar with the procedures of controlling a horse these days, but the phrase is still good.
t rant I've gotten to the point that I'll rec a fic just for the proper use of "rein in" alone.
