Ah yes the fact that damage is done L=1,M=3,S=3,D-4 but the healing
chart at the start of the healing section SR2 list light category as
box 1, moderate as boxes 2 and 3, serious as boxes 4,5,6 and deadly
for boxes 7-10. This means that if a character is on 8 boxes of
damage and you apply a medkit you could rule a successful treatment
leaves the PC on anythng between 3 and 6 boxes of damage depending on
how you read the rules as there are two definitions of deadly (10
boxes for a deadly wound, and box 7 and up deadly damage level)
This could be fixed!
