Medical care will speed this up markedly, however, likely to a rather cinematic extent - at TL 8, first aid will reduce the Injury by 1d (average 3.5), and the physician gets a daily roll to restore 1 HP; with a caretaker with Physician 12, that's roughly +0.75 HP recovered per day. So, first aid followed by care by a competent physician reduces the original Injury to 14 HP, and the character recovers an average of around 1.25 HP each day - that would fall under the "few days" you suggested (slightly over 3 days to reach 0 HP, 3 more days - total 6 - to get above 1/3rd HP, and finally slightly over 5 more days - total 11 - to get to full HP.

I thought it fair to assume medical care until they were at positive hit points, at the least, and likely until they're at over 1/2 move. Also, remember that being under the care of a skilled professional gives +1 to the patient's own HT rolls to heal, so they're healing more like ~1.375 HP/day.
