We already got enough magical healers for now, I'd like something different then a magical healer, I'd like a more non magical based healer like a field medic or chemist or some kind of combat doctor.

The problem is the immediacy of combat here. In a turn-based RPG you can assume your combat medic is doing stuff between turns. In a live-action battle... what do they do? How do they instantly apply HP restoration in a convincing way, outside of throwing potions?

Magical healers are much easier to make sense in battle. That's why we have a focus on them.

I've never in my life thought that I would hear that magical healers make more sense than science healers ... You would obviously throw the potion at them how they have always done it in games like FF tactics and rikku throwing potions in FFX.
