how the perk Living Anatomy really works?

The problem with that is, at least in my opinion, that a propper medic doesn't even need critical successes. Quite the contrary, if I had to bank on crits to properly heal, I'd be a pretty shitty doctor. The real beauty about this perk would be reducing crit fails and if I remember correctly, last time you posted on the topic that it doesn't really do that at this point. For the record, I took it after much deliberation, slightly speculating on exactly that aspect. How's that comming along, any plans for revisiting that part of it?

Critical success doesn't matter much if you heal 180+ HP on average and have FA cd below 40s.
And fails are rare, even with 1 luck - if you fail you can try again in 30-40 seconds, because you can heal weak people.
I have two 24 level 1 luck medic builds and crit fails are not a big problem enough to spend additional perk on it.
If I made 3rd build I wouldn't take this perk either.
The only thing I would change would be not investing in lockpicking, because buying blueprints is easier than finding them.
For medic-fighter I think there are better medic perks and better fighter perks.
Crazy:
My medic friend still got crit fail sometimes, and I think he would rather see the perk deleting crit fails than raising crit success. Anyway, even with that, the perk is quite useless.
Note: Jovanka, if you find crit fail not so bad, it is because you're not doing first aids to your mates in middle of gunfights :P
Solar:
Any effect on failures will be small, given how small the general chance of a failure is if you have reasonable luck (which I presume a decent medic would make sure he had).
A very rough guide on the effect is actually +5% critical successes, with critical failures remaining the same.

That's a bit confusing, iirc the effect of increased crit successes was higher for lower luck characters, which would lead me to point out that a medic with decent Luck is actually the last build that would ever need that aspect of Living Anatomy (or the entire perk, for that matter). Also I don't get why a medic would make sure to dump up to 9 SPECIAL points into Luck to affect 4.5% of his FA attempts, but I guess that's for a different topic.
In any case, if the amount of critical failures (easily the most important part about the perk by a landslide) remains unchanged, it would be nice if the perk description reflected this, instead of suggesting it worked differently than it does.
