EDIT: I started writing this post before fosstar's beaker reply, so it's already somewhat outdated.
Looking at the code I think it's necessary to point out mediborgs don't lose all their beakers, just the epi and charcoal reserves. You're left with 1 beaker and 1 regular hypospray.
Some thoughts from me, lukewarm about the PR:
For the contents:
-Proconvertin is an odd choice on it's own, given heparin isn't listed. Filgrastim might be a more commonly useful chem, but that'd compete with the blood bag for functionality.
-The ordering is a little wierd - salb and epi generally go together, and mannitol probably too.
-While I don't think it's necessarily a wrong choice for this, atropine is a relatively heavweight chem to put on equal footing with epi and the likes.
-Also, putting atropine in a borg hypo means rogue med borgs can hit-and-run people with atropine injections. I'm not opposed to the idea, but it's maybe worth pointing out.
-25 charcoal + 25 potassium iodide is probably not going to be nearly enough if you have a steady stream of tox patients, like those cherished rounds where a quarter of medbay patients have dead livers.
-Teaching people what appropriate amounts of charcoal for a situation is because of supply rationing might be a nice side effect though
Otherwise:
-I feel like this would make the hypo + syringes + dropper somewhat superfluous - you're not ever going need 4 things to administer if you only have 1 tank on hand to keep reagents for them in.
-While I admit I've not ever done so as a medborg, this limits the capacity for mixing medical chems.
-Cycling through 10 options could get painful.
