The problem with Medical having to work with Sci to keep people alive...
Has one fundamental flaw.. and it's very easy.
"Chemistry blew up and we got no money to replace it"
"We cannot treat the wounded scientists cause we are out of chems"
"The bar tender has a chem dispenser / heater so I guess he has to do it"
That's the situation if pharmacy wasn't around.
Remember that people complain: "Medbay got bombed again..."
So now chemistry gets bombed and suddenly no one can get the chems they need to run medbay.
By having two medical chem locations makes it harder for antags to take out the chem supply wich is both good and bad, since it also means the antags have two/three places to get chems from. (And normally you don't even have to bomb chemistry, you just have to make sure a chemist makes a mistake and it takes itself out or hope artsci messes up)
And on donut 2 chemistry will have a nightmare getting chems to medbay.
And while I am fine with removing chemical dispensers out of medbay... I think it's better to turn pharmacy into a storage facility for easy to use medicine and have the medical storage contain the heavier chems most doctors want like perf.
So insted of doctors being in pharmacy making enough synthflesh and perf to last a round. Have a supply be there from the start, move the chem dispensers out. Increase the storage available from the start and have people self medicate from stuff from the dispensers and pharmacy!
