Using healing word to get someone back into the fight is fine. I've got no problem with that. The issue I have is with someone using an action to make a DC 10 Wisdom (Medicine) check to stabilize a dying character. How do you describe that action in the fiction? What is the character making the check actually doing to stop their comrade from dying? They don't even have to be proficient in Medicine to make the check! Anyone can do it.Rocky gets knocked down. He's at 0 HP. His trainer yells at him, using Healing Word. Rocky gets up and keeps fighting.
Bardic Inspiration as a bonus action is another one that I find extremely difficult to describe in-game. What is the bard actually doing within the less-than-6-second timeframe implied by a bonus action? I get that it's a bonus action from a game perspective so that the player can do something besides just inspire their friend. That's fine. But at least try to have it make some sense within the context of the game world.
