Tending the Wounded / A new Bulwark

Firstly, the "Bandage" suggested in my post is not OP; it does not heal alot, as it simulates bandaging a limb like a wounded arm or leg. 25% or so.
Secondly, the mentally of being a "medic" or "healer" would, in my very strong belief, mean that healers would not simply self-heal. The idea that medics would delay heals to only heal themselves (with a teamheal that also heals the user) does not account for the mentality that one automatically assumes when deciding to be the healer. That being said, there would always be the few odd cases of strictly-selfish people, ofcourse. However, Nord Invasion is a team oriented game, and any experienced medic, which is everyone when you go to hard mode, will understand that in order to survive and get far, the shielders, slashers and ranged supports need to survive. A medic would have to be incredibly dumb to only focus on his own health.
Which is why I suggested the bandage. An item that should demand a medium amount of time to apply (otherwise why not just run to the soup?) and will only heal one self. A medic could then, in a team fight, have 3 slots of medic boxes and 1 slot of self heals. Allowing said medic to heal himself when hit. As it is now, that medic will drop his boxes on the ground and ask a team member to pick it up and then heal him, with the same effect.
To add to all these things, I personally really like the idea of a hardened Swadian soldier bandaging himself up and then entering the fray again.
If you read this far, congratulations. I wouldn't have had the patience.
Why, yes, I do tend to pick the worst case scenario, but I'm worried about people using med stuff only for themselves. If the self-heals were made slow, that would already be a good way to counteract that.
I was never here, you saw nothing...

Motivational tip: When you wake up in the morning, look in the mirror and say confidently, "That's a nice head you have on your shoulders."
