I was re-reading Post 18 and I had a thought; how good of a healer is Anna?

We get a pretty vivid description of Vivas' injures here:
She tries to get up, but you firmly force her back down as you complete another complete scan.

Destroyed internal organs, regrown or replaced. Missing limbs, replaced. Various forms of surface trauma, closed. Fatally low blood volume, currently replenishing, likely already prioritised for repair. CNS… completely unharmed, almost certainly protected with the last of her Impeller. However, despite the replacement of the many destroyed or damaged systems, almost every single biological process in her body was malfunctioning.
and a diagnosis that she'll be better in three days:
"She'll be fine. Three days before full recovery," sighs Instructor Park with a roll of her eyes, before the two disappear with a blue flash of Higgs assisted teleport.

But that is only after Anna does a significant amount of work putting her back together:
With a silent snarl of frustration on your face, you retract your medical module, with so many biological abnormalities simultaneously occurring, the use of chemical remedies are out of the question and appropriate nanomachines would take too long to manufacture. Your Impeller suffuses the Instructor, easily pushing through her still weak field and you manually correct some of the major issues, manually resetting her heart activity, reinflating her lungs and reopening several major blood vessels that had collapsed and removing clots. If this was your own body, you could have resolved every issue with your Impeller, but lacked the complete awareness that you would have of your own body and you dared not use high band scans on an exposed human body, Valkyrie or not. Your Impeller is also obstructed from forming a higher fidelity picture of the Instructor's body by her Impeller as it constantly regenerates and the two fields clash.
So the question is how long would Vivas needed to be in hospital if not for Anna? Can normal Valkyrie doctors treat someone just as well or this another field where Anna is peerless thanks to her superior Impeller manipulation abilities? This also raises the question of how much better Anna would be if she could obtain high fidelity scans of someone either by using sufficiently advanced medical equipment or learning to thread the needle regarding how much scanning is safe for an shielded human.

The key point is probably this bit:

And the fact that Washington did not attempt to offer any medical first aid.
She may not be peerless there, but I suspect she is well up there.
 
It worked for Anna. Twice even.
Unlike Anna, Coke-y Boy's impeller using attack doesn't flatten a couple miles. At least not yet. He does have 200% protagonist powers though (making him a natural enemy of the antagonists :V )

And also unlike Anna, Koujirou doesn't have the weapons and dodge skills to survive getting even that first point of Impeller back.

I was reading her recovery speed more as a result of Valkyrie/Genius Twenty toughness, but you make a fair point. Anna's probably pretty good, but at the same time that might well be a relatively recent development. I mean, consider Anna's reaction to Koujirou pulling a stupid and overriding his safeties; Anna was in a state of near panic and without a clue, but afterwards she acquired a high grade field medic kit and reacted much more calmly to a similar level of injury.

Although I suppose that might in part be a result of how calmly everyone else is taking it.

Anna is almost like the Borg in how quickly she can adapt and incorporate various solutions to many problems.

I think most of the reason she reacted that way to Koujirou being injured was because she was partly responsible for that injury, which brought up traumatic memories of other times she had hurt people. Another reason is that Koujirou was a n00b friend, while Vivas was a skilled acquaintance.

Another thing to consider about Anna's medical skill is that her experience comes from civilians with a moral of jumped of the bridge months ago so any injuries that could affect a Valk would kill them long before she could really intervene.

More importantly, Koujirou was unconscious/nonresponsive while Vivas was actively trying to get back up - in terms of raw damage the two might have been pretty close, but one is way more emotionally concerning than the other.

Not even close, Koujirou only mulched his arms a bit. Vivas blew them right off and souped up her organs with a dose of massive bloodloss :Ü™
 
Not everyone has the mental setup to care though.

It's pretty easy to fake most social and political interaction; if nothing else, by interfacing directly with Sandra and having her feed all the lines and motions (making Shuri, more or less literally, her political puppet). Human conversation is so slow and limited, after all. This method wouldn't work with high-level Valkyries, but with them, Shuri would have less need to fake anything.
 
Kind of wonder how much of conventional UN forces to beat say a elite Valkyrie, would they have a shot at all? How strong are Valkyrie and high level forces compared to UN FORCES, could un beat a type zero by throwing enough at it?

Or just download a 9.3 terabyte Compiled essays of all social info, than program a social computer that one integrates into Valkyrie, orion arm method.

2 UN Space Force battleships acting in a division, equipped with standard higgs reactors and standards higgs load, would be able to very badly maul an Elite rank Valkyrie outside of 60km till about 1000km at which point not much happens to either side. If they're closer, or fighting in atmosphere with confusing things such as a horizon and massive amounts of cover known as solid ground, the battleships are very likely going down since the Elite would set us up the bomb.

If you increase that division to 3 Space Force battleships, and if one of them is a theatre flagship equipped with a Higgs generator, they would be able to hunt down and kill an Elite Valkyrie in almost any engagement.

If you mean Elite more generally as in the top percentile like Aces and the Twenty, that would take a lot of UN conventional assests. The UN typically screams for Type Zero supression squads in case their fragile conventionals have a Zero dropped on their faces. Given no choice though, with enough high yield weaponry and suicidal higgs expenditure, the UN Space Forces would be able to actually kill any Zero on record at ruinous cost, Abraxas excepted. Abraxas cannot be engaged by UN Conventionals at all, it's about as useful as throwing mass at a black hole.
