Mere Mortals

As some of you may know, applying medical treatment on oneself is harder than it might look at first glance.
You're under the effects of pain, nausea or light headedness.
The efficacy of self treatment on such conditions is sloppy at most times and external help would be preferable.

Thus I ask that hearthlings to be able to treat the wounds of another, as it was in legacy.
Now, I know the types of wounds have increased and that opening another's Wounds tab would be a little invasive or maybe weaponizable(if such a word exists). Checking if your enemy has wounds gives an advantage.

Medical items would be able to bring a menu of possible treatments when right-clicked on another hearthling. Choosing between the type of treatment the item is capable of and healing(Treating) the wound with the most amount of damage of the type chosen. If multiple wounds have the same amount the first one is chosen automatically.
There would be a cast bar on all the treatments.
If there is a single type of wound presently on the target then only that option of treatment is brought up by the menu.
If the person has no wounds the item is capable to heal, there is a error message warning of such.
If the target moves or is moving the treatment fails and is canceled.
There could be animations showing to the target he is being healed.

The efficacy of doing so would be higher then the hearthling doing it himself/herself and/or the wounds heal faster.

tl;dr Give us the ability to heal our comrades and it being better than them doing it themselves.
PS:Alliterations ftw.

It is making sense. I am not sure it does much of interest aside for making this heal to be more tedious.

I don't see how it could become more tedious.
It would only add to the current viable way of healing.(Which of course isn't a heap of fun because why should it be?)

Basically it will just mean I need to get other village member or an alt for healing me. This does not really add some additional interest choice or things like that. It is just making it slightly more annoying for heals.

Oh I think you misunderstood me.

My idea wouldn't make self healing worse or any different from what it is right now, it would only make it possible to receive treatment from other characters.

It wouldn't add debuffs from pain, nausea and the like, I was just describing my reasons for why I think this should be a thing.

There was a wise soviet conscript that was surrounded by the enemy on the battle of Stalingrad. A mortar shot teared his pants apart causing a big hole in his pants right on his right butt cheek. He felt a glorious cold ass breeze of wind on his butt cheek, like it would be sent by stalin himself, he said - hide your butts

I am referring to this one:

If I want to heal with most efficient, I need to get some other character to healing me. Just seems as more work for not needed.

Should probably be a thing, yeah.

Maybe if you want to see someone's health page, it will either send them a confirmation and they can accept or deny. Or, you can always do it, but it takes time.

Oh, and make it that when you do, your character holds up the other's hand kinda staring at it.
Total misplay.
