At the moment the RD has all of the MD's access (except their office) and much more, which kinda makes the MD a poor man's RD. I don't see much reason for the RD to have so much unnecessary access, Science and Botany (plus Maintenance access which Scientists sorely lack) is quite enough for me.
Hey, now.
Genetics access is vital to the RD in order to facilitate dispersal of "fuck geneticists forever" mixtures and similar things. Access to medbay is important for the times when one ends up with a half-working deathmix and needs to heal back up again in order to get it working properly, as well as ease-of-access to the Medical Director so they can be reminded of how small their office is in comparison to yours.
The prime difference between the MD and the RD is that when the MD comes at you with a syringe and you're injured, you may actually accept it and the potential healing it brings. When the RD does the same you run away screaming.
