I do know that there is a rule ~somewhere~ in the basic black about assisting.
You could think of the chip as assisting, if you're inclined to be generous.
Then again, all you need is a mini computer on the medkit (a la personal
secretary) capable of receiving input from the user dealing with specific
wounds, symptoms, and spewing forth all of the diagnoses and courses of action
to take. At least, that's the rationale for suggesting an assist.

On another note, has anyone ever invested in an automated medkit? Namely,
something like a personal vouch, placed over the heart like a trauma patch that
would be capable of doing limited diagnosis by sensor, and then administering
whatever drugs are contained within it which are called for. We are *not*
talking surgery-capable, but rather something which could administer
antibiotics, antiseptics, antivirals, poison antidote, perhaps even dump a
liter of iodine into the person's bloodstream. . .
