What gives? I have rested numerous times and have a surgeon.

Does your surgeon have medicine to work with?

Yes.

Hm. Seems to be when I dock in Neketaka (probably spelled it wrong) my surgeon just pretends time is not needed to heal wounds and just dumps all the medicine needed on the patients in one go. But I seem to also have a patient who's taking forever to recover, so it could be a bug.

I rested, I have enough medicine, I waited enough. Still, no dice. I'm also beta patch participant.

Did you move her into the reserve? Crew only heals while in the reserve slots.

You need to remove Irrena from active duty on your ship. Move her to the three slots in the lower right for "Resting Crew" and she will heal SIGNIFICANTLY faster. 

Yeah, crew healing work fine, but they need to be in the reserve (lower right slots on ship management skills). Crew will heal immediately when docking in port, as long as you have medicine for it - same with ship’s repairs.

Nah. It's a bug. I'm something like 40 hours in and Irrena has been sitting on rest the entire time and hasn't healed even a little. I've cycled through multiple injured crew, and she still won't heal. There's probably something that borks in the early game that prevents her from healing for some people

The crew healing bugs out sometimes, happened to me and other people as well. Furtunatly, you can fix this yourself: Move the injured crew member from resting to any active ship post, travel a bit, then put them back into resting.

 

Other people reported the moved their surgeon as well, so if the above doesn´t work for you, you might want to try this as well.
