I dunno. In my experience, being in crit, no matter how you get there, is massively bad. A big killer for me is very short, suitless exposures in space when I've had to get out of pods near airlocks or to grab someone.
Which makes surviving actually really easy provided you've packed yourself meds to keep you from going into crit or taking you out of it quickly. I've watched a lot of people rampage reliably with some epi, salbutamol. Keeps em going long enough to take something to treat the burn and brute they have and keep going.
Which means people who powergame by grabbing those things beforehand end up doing better than anyone responding to things as they occur. It's not my style to carry around a bunch of shit like that ahead of time, but seems like a legit enough strategy.
All in all, I'm in favor of being in crit being a thing that you can stay alive in for quite awhile, but have it be something that keeps you real vulnerable for something else to finish you off. I'd like to see Medical be more about arriving to the scene and responding there rather than dragging everyone you see off to medbay.
