I loved taking part of the medic role in DayZ but after a lot of changes since 0.63 I feel useless with my medical supplies
and sometimes I even drop my medical supplies when I need space for ammunition/weapons or more stamina.

Health value
Health value in DayZ is indicated by the first aid icon in bottom right of your screen.
It also determines your state of injury by limping.
Legacy health regeneration
Health value regeneration would not kick in until you took care of your character's blood value.
Saline and blood bags played a crucial part in regenerating your overall health status of your character.
This system complemented your health value with the blood value.
This design choice created value to saline and blood bags.
Current health regeneration
Health value regeneration since 0.63 has been a changed so that it regenerates independently from your blood value.
The dominant medical supply to your health regeneration is time.
Which of these healing processes do you prefer?

Blood value
In the legacy DayZ blood also complemented the health of your character meaning you had to take care of your blood before you started regaining your health value.
In the current DayZ getting hit by bullets does not decrease your blood as much as it did in legacy DayZ. This means that bleeding out in current DayZ is main cause of death by blood loss.
When was the last time you were worried about your death by blood loss?
