Okay. Let us include the bandaging (+5%) and herb (+10%) HC modifiers.
Presuming a base StB+1 and HC27%. Other herbs may change the modifier.
EL0 Healing spell plus EL1 Healer averages 6.46.
EL0 Healing spell plus EL7 Healer averages 8.16.
EL0 Healing spell plus EL13 Healer averages 10.34.

  Also courtesy of Rule 1.343 magical healing allows TWO HC rolls per day.
So for maximum healing without risking 'death by healing' one can have one
magical healing plus one bonus HC roll (w/o risk of infection) plus the
normal HC roll. Healing skill, bandages and herbs can add to the HC% on
both HC rolls. Magical bonuses apply to the bonus HC roll.

The numbers above represent the number of AHP healed up during a week. If
attended by an apprentice healer (EL0-3), move one column to the right; if
attended by a journeyman healer (EL4-7) move TWO columns to the right and
one row down; if attended by a master healer (EL8+) move THREE columns to
the right and TWO columns down.

Comments:
(I did not check the numbers in the table though they look good)
Bandaging is 5% by itself so moves it one column to the right.
Given the materials, anyone should be able to bandage (though Healers do it
better).
Applying Herbs (Cinquefoil) is 10% so moves it two columns to the right.
Any Healer would use both if available.
An Herbalist could apply herbs (beware experimental or unknown herbs).
Other herbs might be more powerful or have other features.

Note that the Infection Chance is 10%-StB per day minus CB per day,
additive that the Character failed to heal.
