Question about non-magic healing (ttrpg.network)

One of my players is an investigator who has taken the secular medic background. He is enjoying his character, but his one point of problem is that he doesn't have a way to use his intelligence or Lore: Anatomy to roll for treat wounds or battlefield medicine.

I understand the math in PF2e is very tight, so how 'breaking' would it be to give him the chance to take a homebrew feat that is basically the Crystal Healing feat but for Lore: Anatomy or Lore: Surgery? I'm thinking I would call it "Surgical Training"

Thoughts? Am I missing a feat that already does this? Please let me know!

I don't know of a feat that does that, but I strongly doubt this would be a balance concern. Treat wounds and battlefield medicine are pretty limited anyway, and certainly aren't game-breaking. I'd draw a comparison to bards' Hymn of Healing, which amounts to free, unlimited healing with a 10-minute-per-8-hp-per-2-levels use timer, and also costs a single feat to obtain.

Thanks for the input!
