Medicine
Overview
Medicine is one of the powersets. It is one of the sets of Power Pools available to all heroes and villains. These powers grant very limited healing abilities
"You become an adept field medic, and can assist your team with basic healing needs. These close range powers should be performed away from combat because they can be interrupted."

Field Medic
Your skill as a Field Medic is unparalleled. In addition to permanently removing the interrupt time Aid Other and adding Endurance recovery to Aid Self, using this power will grant a powerful boost in the effectiveness of your healing powers and reduce your resistance to healing debuffs. This effect increases with level. You must be at least level 14 and have trained any two other Medicine powers before you can train as a Field Medic.

| Effects | Self, +Heal, -Res(Heal), Special |

Injection
You fire a small dart at a target. The dart is set up to release a beneficial serum or deleterious toxin, depending on whether it strikes friend or foe. If striking a friend, the ally is freed from any Immobilization, Sleep, Disorient, Hold, Fear or Confuse effects and is resistant to such effects for a brief time. If striking a foe, the enemy suffers reduced damage potential, attack speed and chance to hit. The serum's effects will improve with multiple applications from you, but the toxin's do not. The toxin's effect is also shorter in duration than the serum's effect. Both serum and toxin improve as you advance in level.

Historical
This section contains information that no longer applies to the current version of City of Heroes/Villains. It is provided for historical purposes.
- Issue 21 reduced the first two powers (Aid Other and Stimulant) from level 6, to each unlocking at level 4. The third power (Aid Self) still requires level 14 and a single power prerequisite. Issue 21 also reduced the fourth power (Resuscitate) to level 14, though it still requires two power prerequisites.
- Prior to Issue 24, Injection was called Stimulant. Issue 24 also added the Field Medic power, made Aid Other uninterruptable, and gave Aid Self an Endurance Over Time effect.
Stimulant
Frees an ally from any Immobilization, Sleep, Disorient, Hold, Fear or Confuse effects and leaves them resistant to such effects for a brief time. Protection will improve with Multiple applications and as you advance in level. This power is interruptible.
