Summary:
Health Analyzers display patient information in their own pop up screen instead of in the text logs.
Benefits :
-More polish to the game
-Prevents text log spam with health reports
-No longer have to scroll up the text screen if text logs are filled with combat or other activities
-Sets framework for Anaylyzer gui improvements
Details:
-phase 1: Basic text
Transfer the basic text box report to its own seperate pop up screen. When the HA is used on a person, the screen will pop up.
-Phase 2: Data storage
Possible extra ideas for the HA is that it could print out health reports via a little ticket printer, so people can compare data. Or at least have someway of storing old reports to be looked at again.
-Phase 3: Extra artwork
The HA could be upgraded from a text display to a GUI display, where the outline of a person is shown, along with damage reports to each area, similar in action to the PipBoy display in the fallout series. Or at least have a more colorful design to it, maybe unique to the CM universe

Gaze upon me,
for I have wandered deep into the ancient tombs of knowledge to which lie madness and sorrow, cleansing a path for all those who walk behind me...
...
But seriously, does uh, anyone know the way out?!
~Furthermore, I consider that Floodlights should no longer be destroyed.~

+1 Removing the spam allows for better organization and roleplaying, as it's easier the chat with the patient when you can read what they're saying.

When playing medic it is really hard to read the chat and potentially critical messages when your chat log is completely filled with the analyzer data. I know I've personally missed a couple retreat orders because I couldn't discern them among the sea of burn damage.
