treating
Handling a patient
Treating is handling or dealing with something in a particular way: The film treats its subject with sensitivity.
It often involves providing care: The doctor is treating her for anxiety.
Treating also means paying for someone else's food or entertainment: He's treating us to dinner.
In industrial contexts, treating is processing a material to alter its properties: treating wood to resist rot.
