WAIT!
Dont use it just after getting shot a few times! Wait until you actually need it. Many rookie players make the error and mistake of using it after just being hit once or twice. We all should know that the medkits only have 2 very, very needed uses. Think about it: You're probly working with 3 other guys who are getting shot too. Why should you be the only one healing and benefiting from a medic bag when all of them are getting shot just as much if not more than you? Consider your team in this game, it is a very hard game without a team. Your team is your life, but a team sometimes needs help. The upgraded (aced) medkits have 2 more helpful uses. Combat Medic (Mastermind) is the skill to place 2 medic bags and then each bag will have the additional charges. Very good skill to have.

Aced Medkits
NOW!
Use the medkit when you're at about 25% or less health. You MUST use it if your screen is tinted grey. This means that the next time you go down into bleedout, you're going into custody. NO MATTER WHAT! That therefore means of course that you're screwed if you keep that up. So use the kit then. DO NOT make a rookie mistake and waste it after being hit once with a glock. So save your kits until you absolutely need them. This means don't refill your health or "top off" your health after the first assault. You're probly not gonna need to first off and second you will need that charge for later! This could save your life and save your heist! Always place your team's best interest first and protect your assets. Keep them alive, they'll keep you alive. A team is a team no matter how dysfunctional or how rookie they might be. It will also help if you keep track of how many charges each bag has left, so take notice of the packs in the bag before and after using them. A new standard medkit will have 2 bloodpacks in the bottom right. After first use, it will only have 1 left. After Each use, this will reset your downs(where you go into bleedout). You can go down 3 times before custody unless you heal up or you have the skill in the ghost class that allows you to go down one more time(Nine Lives).Beware of just using it before checking. You get health by being revived. So wait until after going down once or twice. Just make sure if you do in fact go down into bleedout, that your team isn't taking a huge risk to get you back on your feet.
Reminder
It is always better to be wounded and have a solution to save yourself than to be dying and have no plan and no help and no fix. Don't forget this. This will come in handy for you if you remember this in the heat of battle. All it takes is one mistake and you will be taken into custody. One single mistake can cost you a whole heist and all your time you just spent drilling for 240 seconds or hacking a computer for 400 seconds will all have been for nothing since all your stolen items are taken away when you fail a heist. That sucks. Now you've got to restart or throw a nuclear tantrum. Up to you. Remember it.
