I can't figure out how to use this to regain HP. How does it work?

Medicine is a "passive" skill, meaning that you don't actually have to do anything yourself. Roughly speaking, each point in Medicine will reduce the amount of time it takes you to regenerate 1 HP by 1 turn. So the more you have, the more quickly you'll regenerate HP. (Endurance does similar things.) I believe that Medicine is also supposed to provide some increased Resistances, though I've never really explored the skill too much.

But, as always - in general, it is almost always
much better to boost HP/HP regen. by boosting the END Attribute rather than the Medicine Skill.
With Skills, Skill Points are precious, and you are much better off putting Skill Points into more useful Skills...
