Why? and Why not?
geever:
Because it's not coded. :)
I think it's working like firing and you can't aim to yourself. I don't know if this change in the future.

speaking as both a Soldier and EMT. Self-Aid on the battlefield is currently very limited. All the medical supplies we carry as soldiers as "personal" first-aid kits really just represent the 6 or 7 most commonly used aid items. We carry them not to use on ourselves but so someone else can use them on us without depleting their own supply. medic aid bags really have little in them to treat more then 1 or 2 injuries and a few specialized items. A medic depends on your personal kits in the event of serious trauma. Problems with pain, confusion from shock, blood loss, physical incapacity due to injury really all combine to prevent adequate self-aid at the level self treatment with med-kits would allow in the game.
besides having to think tactically about medical care and making sure you can cover each other with buddy aid makes for a more challenging tactical experience. is it a pain sometimes? yeah... but its not a huge problem if you think about it a little bit. Soldiers have relied on the buddy system for ages for many reasons. gives the enemy someone else to shoot at is one, Medical care is another.

i think it mainly boils down to that it's kinda hard to heal yourself with a medikit when you've just been shot by an alien weapon.

Agree with -greever.
In reality if you wounded, and you have a medikit.... and nobody around...do you use it? I will...
