Granted Features
Automatic:
Working a crowded ward like a triage nurse, you tend several wounded or sick patients in the same span it takes to treat one.
A steady hand at treating wounds and curing sickness lets a trained character patch up an ally's injuries between fights.

Plagues often spring from mass deaths and the vermin that multiply after such tragedies. Cities under siege can grow ill without proper nutrition and clean water. Your expertise with medicine allows you to help those afflicted by disease, and your view of the world is likely colored by seeing so much misfortune.
