Pharmacy: Chest search speed

I just wanted to voice my frustration with changing pharmacy's chest search speed to only work while injured. That was the primary reason for using the perk for me in the past since I only really liked using the perk alongside a general chest build (Plunderer's, Pharmacy, Ace in the Hole, Appraisal/Detectives Hunch). I don't need the search speed to be faster while injured since I won't be able to search a chest while being chased anyways. The chest search speed increase use to allow me to search out chests at the beginning (BEFORE other survivors without Plunderer's take them) and then quickly get back to being a relevant team player. Now I can't benefit from pharmacy at all unless I am injured, and who knows how many chests will be gone by the time that occurs. I honestly don't care for pharmacy at all now. Although I understand from the perspective of many that just want fast heals that this change is a buff overall, I am incredibly disappointed that now I have to waste quite a bit more time when I decide I want to find items to give to the team. Is there ANY possibilty that the search speed can be retained while full health? Or at least 40% increase while full health (1/2 the current speed increase). Otherwise this is a significant nerf to the weirdo's like me who like to find great items to pass around to the team.

    even to those who just wanted a fast heal it isn't a buff and still a net nerf. since as you said : when you're injured you usually are not in a position to find an unopened (!) chest to get your medkit. I ran it in soloQ because I don't feel like burning items left and right: spawn in, beeline to chest, get medkit and go back to being a relevant team member asap.

    yeah they claimed to have buffed pharmacy but in fact it was nerfed, you can't even get a medkit from a searched chest so if your teammates have already searched the chests pharmacy becomes a dead perk and we don't even get to use it
