Medic.. Why? Am I missing something?

[OpenSent]

First, let me say that I was a paramedic for 2 years and I normally like to play healing classes in games.

But I don't understand why I would pay three points for medic skill, or 2 more for advanced medic in this game?

I carry three medkits with me already? I can loot plenty more, or hack a med terminal with my 3 points of hacking?

Am I missing something? Are medics doing something else that I don't know about?

Not trying to flame or bug anyone about thier class, just trying to understand.

Thanks,
