Does it have any effect on resting with 0 or with partial hp? Or on special healing encounters like the dying slags scientist or the beaten dockhand?
In the beginning, men were mortal.

Don't have it anymore, but I never noticed anything with resting. And there may be effects on special healing encounters, but I already had Trauma Tech and had passed all the plot related ones already.
The "You staunch your bleeding before it can do any more damage." message is not tied to this skill, as I received it without having Driven Healer, but I do have Trauma Tech.
I'm 99% sure that that message has something to do with Leaves Jagged Wounds. If you go a few rounds, you heal up eventually. I think.
Maybe it's a critical first aid success or something? All I know is that I had never seen the message before, got it fairly consistently when I had Driven Healer, and have never seen it since.
The Driven Healer skill has absolutely no affect when attempting to "Treat him medically" in the Bloodied Scientist encounter.
Choosing the "Bury the corpse" option in Scientist's Corpse also had no interesting interactions. Kinda sad…
Edit: Nothing new from the Southside Lab Corpsepile encounter. For someone who vowed to never let anyone die horribly again, he sure is taking this well.
Perhaps I'm just being silly, but I thought something as traumatic as getting Driven Healer would at least make for some interesting interactions. Maybe, like, I don't know, not being able to choose the option "Steal his helmet" in the Bloodied Scientist encounter?
It's all rather sad. :'(
Well, right after I picked up the artist en route to get this skill, I thought of trying to bring him back to his friend in the Quad. (There is, after all, a skill right between Driven Healer and Warrior of the Seas in ID order.) No luck, but since it was spontaneous I only had 10 energy to try and find him, so I'd say it's worth trying again.

I suspect the Driven Healer message
After combat you staunch the worst of the bleeding and patch yourself up, healing <X> hit points.
seems to trigger if you took 6 damage or more from a single attack during the combat ("serious injury") with the total amount taken that combat being irrelevant.
Took 19 damage, all in increments of ≤2: normal first aid message
Highest damage from single attack with normal first aid message observed: 5
Damage taken from single attack with Driven Healer message triggered: 6, 6, 7, 10
(Tested on ghost ship, all >3 damage attacks were melee.)
Not particularly inclined to collect further data as the heals were marginal.
Note that the ancient mention of Jagged Wounds above is confusion due to the similar message:
You staunch your bleeding before it can do any more damage.
