The maximum damage healable with First Aid skill is equal to the skill rating, but i am asking if

Nope, a and b only give bonus dice, they do not increase the skill rating, thus they do not increase the maximum number of healed boxes. So with a skill of six you could only ever heal six boxes but you would need eight hits.
The only things I can think of that would increase the maximum is the adept power improved ability, and aptitude if you actually get the skill to 7. |

I use 3rd edition primarily, but have applied the damage box healing per success of 4th. I limit the max healable damage to the character's skill rating in First Aid or the Rating of the Medkit whichever is higher (medkits used to be Rating 3 on average, but I allow up to Rating 10 medical tools - but then you're tlking like a full on trauma treatment facility there). this was to reflect a good paramedic being able to stick you back together with staples and superglue or a office first aider to follow the high tech AutoDoc program of a Saviour medical pack.
With 4th edition, I've been toying with the idea of a max skill rating of 10 rather than 6 (11 if you've got the Aptitude Quality). However, to evalute between the 3rd & 4th edition, you could only reduce your 3rd ED Wound Level by 1 step with First Aid which was the equivalent of 3-6 boxes from Serious to Moderate. If you got a Deadly Wound (10 Boxes) you could only be stabilised until proper medical treatment arrived. |

The healer is only more likely to reach the maximum. |

I think the by him is referring to natural healing tests. not to there skill with a medkit on others. |

But on/for refers to First Aid or Healing Spells.
