Official Answer
When an Investigator uses a Medical Item to flip a Wound face-down, the ongoing effect from the Wound card is removed immediately—not at the end of the round.
This is supported by the following rule:
- "Medical Items are one of the few means by which a Wound can be flipped face-down. Before flipping a Wound face-down, undo any negative effects that resulted from the card’s text."
(page 11)
This means that as soon as the Wound is flipped face-down (by using a Medical Item), you immediately remove any ongoing negative effects from that Wound.
