Surgery question

Banded Mongoose
Hi,

I made a quick check and it seems that all versions of Traveller before Mongoose required Dex 8+ for a medic to practice surgical acts.

Is it an omission or has this limit been voluntarily lifted in Mongoose versions ?

Then a Medi-4 character with Dex 5 would be at a total DM of +3 (Medic 4 - Dex DM) for surgery ?

How do you handle it in your Mongoose campaigns ?

Thanks

Edit : seems T5 handles it the same way, without the Dex 8+ limit...so it must be voluntary.
 
Hmmm... Back-alley practitioner? Dexterity atrophied after a lifetime of substance abuse but still remembers their training....
 
Pick just one edition of Traveller rules to use. Don't use the 2007 FORD service manual if your FORD was made in 2013.
