Can you elaborate what you mean by "completely nerfing"/"nerfing X entirely" and how it differs from removal and from other nerfs?
Also note that the possibilities are not just meddoc vs. selfsurgery, but also being operated on by a nondoctor. Even if selfsurgery were nerfed, the third option would still be viable, and isn't as scarce as being operated on by a doctor.
Nerfs (as opposed to removal) aren't so much to force interaction, but to encourage it. I don't deny "turbonerds" will just put in more effort, but that's okay. Ideally the nerfs will encourage others. I don't believe nerfs will only have the effect of increasing "turbonerd effort"; especially for more casual goofing around, people will likely just rope in other folk. And again, this isn't necessarily just doctors being roped in.
If the issue is certain objects with self surgery, that's still fundamentally tied to selfsurgery itself and can be adjusted by fiddling with selfsurgery. I do agree some more fiddling with individual items would be good, but I disagree it's the end-all of adjustments.
