The higher your Medicine skill, the more Health you replenish when using a Stimpak and any other medicinal item such as Rad-X, RadAway, etc.

Medicine in Quests

 * 40 Medicine is required to revive Timebomb in Bigtown, which is the only way to get his Lucky 8 Ball.
 * 60 Medicine is required to revive Reilly in Underworld, which is one of two ways to revive her and start the Reilly's Rangers (quest).
 * The alternative way to revive Reilly is with a speech check.

Note: Contrary to popular belief if your Medicine skill is at 100 it does NOT double the effectiveness.
