Medical Doctor should be a time-locked role.
#3
In RP doctors sometimes get ignored since "Someone is dieing, but no doctor is available, time to cryo them"
When I am a doctor, clone scanning people being done when someone finds the body is natural. You don't need to do a doctor for that, most of the time you need access... besides you don't have time to wait 5-10 mins for a doctor to show up since the body MIGHT rot and become unclonable.

And with people in critical, I think people need to go to medbay to heal, but most people can buy from mini-meds some medicine to save people anyawy.

The thing about doctors isn't the fact people don't trust doctors. It's more or less they take forever to do something.
The only moments a doctor is TRUELY NEEDED is for the following procedures:
- Any heart problems (Shock/Cardiac Failure)
- Toxins damage
- Organ replacement
- Person ODing on drugs/alcohol.
- Diseases.
- Limb replacement (mostly goes to robotcist for that even if it's simple things.)
- Autopsy (wich no one really does or knows how)
- "GIVE ME MONKEY"
- To bother genetics.

And for roleplay you get a few more:
- Therapy
- Mental instiution (player playing a human turned insane, so the coat is used)
- Complain about insurance costs.

Other wise that's all you go for a doctor.
So being trusted after a few rounds is not a bad idea, since I have died several times due to medical malpractice / incompetence / negelect that I prefer treating myself by hopping into Cryopods. Especially when the only available doctor sees me limping in and just RUNS OUT OF MEDBAY FOR SOME REASON. I am going critical and wait a minute.. and he doesn't return.. great time to cryo myself before I die.

What I also recommend is having First Aid dispenser in Medbay that dispenses treatments and can be restocked by doctors. Sleepers can do this too so can medibots with saline but only if they get near you or if someone else does it for you. By having a dispenser infront that will treat your BRUTE/HEAT damage for free like it'a an Automender at each lobby.... might help doctors with patients that need self treatment, but still allow the menders to be used for intensive doctoring.
