What does the word "personal" mean?

If I appoint a surgeon, will the "personal" perks work on my party?

If Im not mistaken, personal perks affect ONLY the perk owner, like the one that regains 30% health after battle.

Then the 275 perk of medicine must be misclassified as personal because it takes effect on party soldiers according to the description.

Yes, I believe it currently performs as "party leader" and does not take effect if you have a surgeon appointed.

In my experience the "minister of health" must be on the party leader.

Spoiler: Bugged?

I also think neither the perk nor the skill in general seems to work at 100% for other parties (or the general %chance for saving troops lives as "wounded" instead of killed in battle). When my family member was appointed as my surgeon, with 280 skill, we lost fewer troops in every fight (% wise) than when she was leading her own party later.

These were not auto-calculated battles. And they were big: army vs. army with over 1000 on either side.
She had similar troop make-ups, but my party always had fewer casualties (after my character's skill got over 275 and grabbed the minister of health perk, of course). Technically at the time I was checking (we were fighting the same battles, joined in the same army when I was noticing this) she had the higher skill level, my character was sitting right at 275 and she was at least 290 by then.

I see. Thanks.
