Battle Medic Grants Virtually Unlimited Healing?

Am I missing something in how this feat works or how skills work? Could you not just keep rolling until you have enough successes to heal everyone to full once you are out of combat? Should there not be a limit to how often one can gain the benefit of the feat or is there a rule interaction that I'm missing that covers this?

The limit is that battle medic can only affect the same target once every 24 hours (the bolstered effect).


Battlefield medic is also very dangerous to use at low level. To succeed, you need to make a DC 20 check with your Medicine skill. The best you can do at first level is with a Wis 18 (so cleric or druid) and trained which gives you a +5. Here are the results of the d20 check at first level:

20: heal 2d10+4
15-19: heal 1d10+4
6-14: no result
1-5: lose 1d10 hp

I wouldn't risk it until 5th level (maybe 4th with expert proficiency).
