That said, I did find a few entries on my monk from 2002 that support your theory, including a comment about needing to wait for mobs to get off me so I could bandage (but that should be taken with a grain of salt because from the context I was nearly dead so I was probably just trying to stay alive). Also, there was an instance or two where I was being attacked but the mob missed so my bandaging completed.
