Medical Instincts

A Medicine Capstone of Faith Augustin this capstone does the following:

Medical Instincts: One of the main skills of a medic is the skill of diagnosis. Thanks to her extensive experience of medicine, her encyclopedic knowledge and her high level of detection, Faith is able to witness symptoms and quickly pinpoint whether the cause is natural or unnatural. Having determined this, she is then able to diagnose probable cause. The upshot of this is the more common the disease / illness / injury, the quicker she is to diagnose it. So, common ailments which are what they seem to be might be diagnosed after a brief conversation or very basic observation. Even when something more obscure might be mistaken for a more common condition, Faith has honed her skill to the point where she can spot if something is 'more than it seems' and can then quickly work to diagnose the actual issue.

If she doesn't know the issues being presented (so the first time she is presented with a particularly obscure disease) this would allow her to quickly recognise that it is not anything "usual", but would not speed up finding what it is.
