[DISCUSSION] Medical Pharmacy vs. Chemistry
(11 hours ago)Lord_earthfire Wrote: Let me pull up a few from the NanoMed i think need something said about:

Before I list out my thoughts on this I'll just say that every single department on the station is self sufficient to do their job at a basic level without help from their lead/head or an external department. On what 'basic' is in medbay is up for interpretation but for me it's to be able to treat someone that's come in that's not in critical and have them leave healthy. The chemicals required to do a 'basic' job should always be available in the NanoMed in lieu of any scientist, pharmacist or director not being present or functional.

I'm also going to chime in on this list so here goes.
  • Diphenhydramine: This is basically a required chemical on any shift. There are many hyper-allergenic crew who will not be fixed solely by epinephrine and the dialysis.
  • Atropine: This is generally an advanced chem, used in combination with synaptizine to keep critical patients alive. Or in niche cases remove large amounts of saxitoxin. Not required for basic care.
  • Filgrastim: Generally just used to get people out the door faster when they're low on blood in combination with saline or blood bags. Luxury chem but also I genuinely doubt a chemist or pharmacist would make this chemical due to it being a pain to make and how low impact it is.
  • Robustissin: Required chemical. If someone has lungrot there's no other way to fix it. 
  • Heparin: As someone who takes doctor RP fairly seriously, surgery (especially a heart one) is always a last resort compared to giving someone a blood thinner.
  • Proconvertin: Not required, honestly more harmful than anything half the time!
  • Synaptizine: Required after the brain damage rework, atropine is generally pretty harmful on it's own to treat brain damage so this is the go to for higher levels. 
  • Omnizine: Not required, SR is a luxury most times.
  • Salicyclic Acid: Not on your list but honestly it's one of the ones that should be. Mostly used to make perf quickly or speed up cloning and there's FOUR bottles of it in each NanoMed.
