Healthcare and skills

Is it good idea to pump embark skills on diagnostician/surgeon/etc? How healthcare output is affected by skills?

Personally, if you get injured during the first year in my embarks - you're dead meat.  But I could see putting 2 levels in one for more dangerous biomes where you expect early battles?

I normally don't pick a doctor until my 2nd or 3rd spring...

It certainly doesn't hurt, and you can often find that your starting seven are the most useful dwarves in the fortress for several years to come.

Never used Dwarf Therapist, mods or tilesets in all the years I've been playing.
I think Toady's confusing interface better simulates the experience of a bunch of disorganised drunken dwarves running a fort.
