The problem with a way to punish doctors for not doing their job correctly... makes players getting hurt punished.
Getting hurt is mostly a punishment for players messing up and medbay has to save them and fix them up.
But when they mess up... you die. They don't get hurt (mostly not), infact YOU GET HURT.
Of all the jobs where your mess up hurts other players. Bartender, chef and botany are less likely to have major impacts.
But medbay/robotics? You will most likely bleed to death.
So by punishing cloning, who really suffers? The person who died at the hands of doctors more likely then the doctors themselves... since if they try to fix their mistake.. guess who dies or take damage? YOU DO.
No matter how you look at it. Medbay is truely never punished for being wrong, cept the station is dieing out.
And if we start putting in penalties for doctors letting patients die on medbay, it will only encourage doctors to let them die outside of it rather then treating them.
There is no "Real" way to truely punish doctors for not doing their job correctly and getting punished for it... without putting the pressure on the player who needs medical treatment.
Remember if you do surgery you technically get PUNISHED by the blood coming from the patient onto your clothes, wich lowers your hygiene levels fast.
Only pathology when they messed up in the past... did it hurt medbay and forced them to fix it... but guess what? That damaged the whole station everytime.
Another suggestion you could say is if Medbay gets incentives to do their job correctly, but this behaviour might end up doctors purposely giving patients treatment that they don't need to get those incentives.. wich is kinda more realistic of some health care systems in the world and it's funny to see doctors then "push" their patients certain treatments just so they can get an objective done XD
