Give Doctor Pre-Req Changes as well

Give Doctor Pre-Req Changes as well
This idea/suggestion is Open. You can respond to ask questions or discuss the idea and either vote it up or down if you believe it should or should not be implemented, respectively. Popular suggestions and ideas will be considered by the development team to become reality in-game.
Proposal
Add a Line from Scout as a pre-requisite to Doctor. Maybe the "Survival Line" From Scout. Would make sense seeing as Doctors Heal people to help them survive, if you needed a theme to go along with it.
Justification
All the other classes are getting a hybrid system where you can choose from other starter classes, Thought Doctor could use some of that love as well?
Motivation
To be in line with the other classes and so we can try other heal hybrids outside of combat medic. And I dont personally like Combat medic to much. ;p
With the upcoming changes to all the classes I was wondering why Doctor still would require 2 lines in medic and not a hybrid system like the rest of the classes? Maybe a line in Doctor and a Line in Scout?
 
Doctor is an Advanced Medic class, compare to classes like Sniper and Lancer, which is why it only has Medic lines a pre-reqs.

I would be in support of letting Doctor pick and choose among Medic lines, except it wouldn’t really make sense with how Medic is currently(xxx4 is just a crafting line, and 4x4x both have abilities improved on in Doctor).
 
Is it the only class that falls under "Advanced Medic"? Even Ranger got changed to be not an "Advanced Scout". So is it now the only class that needs 2 lines from one tree? Outside of Crafting and Entertainer.
 
With the new prerequisite changes:
Ranger, BH, Squad Leader, Creature Handler can all be got with 2 lines from Scout. Ranger and CH can only be got from Scout.

Combat Medic and Doc can be got with 2 lines from Medic. Doc can only be got from Medic.

Carbs, Rifles, Pistols, can be got with 2 lines from Sharpshooter. These also can only be got from Sharpshooter.

TK, Polearms, 1hand, and 2hand can be got with 2 lines from Brawler. These also can only be got from Brawler.

I think Commando and Smuggler are the only two combat professions at this point that *require* lines from different basic professions at this point.
