So I am a Master Ranger and Master Swordsman with some Novice Medic thrown in. Please don't flame me for not being one of you! 
I was just wondering, since I only have enough skill points to learn either fird aid 1 or diagnostics 1, which is the one I should go with? I know first aid will heal more, and diag will heal faster, but which will help me out more? Does the speed increase make up for the lower heal power?
Thanks all

First Aid. Neither increases your healing ability more than the other, but with First Aid, you'll do better heals slower. This means lower Mind costs and less stim use for the same healing.

First Aid 1, without a doubt.
You will not notice any appreciable improvement in speed with Diagnostics 1, but you will notice ahealimprovement with First Aid 1 (about 15% boost).
Best if luck to you.

Ya, unfortunately with Master Ranger and Master Swordsman, then novice medic and first aid 1, i only have 1 free skill point. It won't get me very far!

I wonder if it would hurt much to drop Sword to 0444 ... then try taking FA to 2030. You can find Stim Cs that are crafted to 30 med use, I believe, and with this you can use them. Truth be told, I'm grinding Swordsman right now, and the whole Offense tree doesn't look all THAT useful...

First Aid 1. Being a MR isn't really all that. The only things that I enjoyed in the Ranger tree was the High Tech Camps, Track, and Camo (if it still works). I would definitely try and pick up First Aid 2, and Diagnosis 2 (or FA 3 and Dx 1).

Sorry, dont mean to hijack this thread or anything, but im sure ye are sick of these questions and my question is a bit like an extension of the original post.
Im medic 3330 atm and if i can get1 or 2 more boxes which should i go for ? im thinking of 3440 or 4430 it just still seems soooo slow to me 
but im not sure how much difference diag 4 will make.

You'd be better off with 4340. This will get you best heal bonus, and will also allow you to use D & E stimpacks.
My personal theory is that its is better to heal a LOT of damage in one shot, rather than a moderate amount of damage for frequently ... particularly when the difference in time is short enough to not be noticed.
Note, if you were to pick up ONLY one box, go for 3340. The D & E stims (at 3340) will heal better than a C stim (at 4330).
