My 2 cents on the subject...

A similar kind of medical technology is in David Drake's "Ranks of
Bronze". For those unfamiliar with it, a Roman legion is defeated and
sold
into slavery, to aliens who use it to fight low tech wars in space. As
long as the legionnaire doesn't have brain damage or spinal injuries,
they
can be rehabilitated after a battle. Missing limbs can be regrown, other
injuries healed quickly. IMO, a much more "realistic" med tech for the
next century or 2.
