Notes

This skill is essentially the same across genres with marginally different flavor text. All of the descriptions include treating “injuries”, understanding/applying “medical procedures”, “diagnosing illnesses”, and “performing surgery”. D6 Space adds cybernetic implants, suggesting Technical refers to “technology” as well as “technique”.

D6 Space does reserve repair of cybernetic implants for the Personal Equipment Repair skill. Medicine can only install the cybernetic implants, not repair them.
