The exact number of patients a physician can attend to and the frequency with which he may roll to cure them depend on the TL of his Physician skill; see the Medical Help Table, below. On a success, the patient recovers 1 HP; on a critical success, he recovers 2 HP. This is in addition to natural healing. However, a critical failure costs the patient 1 HP!

The table shows TL1-4 can make rolls, but I thought the physician skill didn't exist until TL5?

Does this mean the healer is allowed to make Esoteric Medicine or Pharmacy instead? I'm surprised the rules on B425-425 didn't state that (as far as I can see) if so...
