There is a easy but costly way to earn this achievement : you can buy some medkit to some sellers, you just need money; I recommend to do this achievement all through the game, just get you some medkit before leaving an outpost and use medkit instead of energizing's drinks when (if) you lose some life. It heals you for 2 points of life (the mid medkit) - don't know if it will always heals for 2 points of life when you'll getting more levels.

A mid-medkit costs 200$. 20.000$ is required for the achievement if you buy all the medkits if they are mid-one.

Edit : You can use a medkit by using the "B" Button !

There is bigger than the mid-medkit ! The big-medkit ! (don't know exactly how it sounds in english :x) but they cost 500$ so if you just wanna beat this achievement faster, use the cheapest ones :p

Since some achievements are cumulating, I'm almost sure you can do it on multiple playthrough.

Why negative votes ? Explain, it's my first solution XD

[SPOIL]
- There is a medkit in the backroom of Svetlana's Bungalow (last N-E Bungalow ever on the first map of the game) it will respawn when you leave area.

- Another medkit can be found where you go to repair the car tagged "Bank of Banoi".

This solution explains TWO ways to get this achievement.

I didn't see this up here, and I hate to be THAT guy that encourages glitching of a game, but here it goes.

You can duplicate weapons and sell them to vendors to get money to buy med-kits. Aim the weapon of choice at the ground, throw it, and then automatically hold the Y button. This should both throw the weapon AND drop it at the same time, creating two of the same weapons. Now hold X to automatically equip ONE of the weapons and rinse and repeat until you are satisfied.

Now go and buy medium medkits from a vendor after selling your ill-gotten gains. Then fast travel to the Monastery and head outside. Take the gate directly in front of you and follow the path out of the courtyard to this flaming car. Kill all of the zombies and Stand in the fire and just repeatedly use your medkits. I got 70 used in less than 3 minutes, 8 minutes if you count the time it took to get the money, buy them and travel to the fire to use them.

ALTERNATIVELY, if you've beaten the game and don't believe in glitching the game, you can start a new game with the character you beat it with, load up chapter 18 and do the final fight again. In a room in the back, there are a bunch of medkits to pick up. Just run outside and get shot and use the medkits, reload the checkpoint and rinse and repeat. This can take up to 25 minutes, depending on how many medkit uses you had prior, and is mostly due to load times. Refer to the YouTube video for visuals on this method, and credit goes to SNiPERxXV1 from YouTube for the video. (PS. Sorry if the music is too loud...)

Hope this helps, and if you vote negative, PLEASE comment and tell me why. Anything that helps you guys helps me as well. <3

The easiest and yet uncostly way of earning this achievement in minutes, is to play chapter 18, and acquire all the medkits on the walls. It's a cost free solution. Rinse & repeat, & b0.0m, achievo! ^_^ (video explains it in simple form, much easier explaining it through visual, rather than to read it.)

This is one of those achievements that could happen naturally through story mode progression, granted you buy medkits and are lucky enough to find some.

I would recommend doing a complete playthrough of the game, and spend your end-of-game earnings on some medkits and go back out and use them while trying to mop up those last few achievements.

A much faster way of doing this with a much bigger payoff is to exploit a glitch I discovered. You have to be online with a friend who is willing to help you. Yesterday we found one of the dev craft mods (left hand of glova) and between the two of us we only had enough diamonds to make one. So I gave my 2 diamonds to my friend and without even thinking about it I dashboarded out to go cook dinner. When I got back on I still had my diamonds and my friend made the mod. After realizing this we experimented and sure enough you can duplicate any droppable items in dead island including med kits, weapons, and any crafting item.

It's easy enough to do, like I said find a friend willing to help. Then choose whatever item you wish to duplicate. DROP THEM! Do not trade!
Note: use caution when dropping items in high volume, for instance we were dropping diamonds at 60 a time because when we dropped 100 the game autosaved on us and when I re loaded I had my original count of diamonds back instead of the duplicated amount.

If your the one dropping stay in your inventory menu until your friend picks up all the dropped items. Once your friend has them all (he/she should tell you so) hit your guide and then Y to dashboard out. Have your friend press b as to not load his last single player checkpoint and then immediately quit after you leave.

Now your friends game is saved with the items and your profile never saved that you gave them up. Rinse and repeat taking turns being the one who drops and the one who picks up.

The possibilities are limitless with it considering diamonds go for $1500 a pop, you can have free med kits in mass quantity, craft any weapon you've been itching to create, in fact you could use this to get the "I want one of those" achievement as well.
