When you use a Medical Accessory, the target heals for an additional 20 Health over 30 seconds.

Unlike other healing abilities, Poultice is not affected by +Healing Efficiency.
Pros
- Activates with all Medical Accessories, including Pain Meds
Cons
- Heal over time ability instead of an instant heal
- Does not heal Trauma Damage
- Can be considered non-essential over other healer builds cards
