Currently surgery is far too simple and leaves no room for malpractice. Here's my suggestion:
Make surgery a three step process.
Step 1: Cutting them open.
Step 2: Removing whatever you're removing.
Step 3: Resealing with staples.
If step 1 is completed but step 3 is not, the person is fine while lying on a surgery table, but the second they get up their guts start falling out, leaving a trail of gibs and blood and slowly doing brute damage.
Step 1 should probably take a few second to perform, as should step 3, slightly extending the time surgery usually takes.
Extra: Shrapnel and stuff also has a very low chance of activating step 1.
Pros:
More chances for traitor doctors to perform malpractice.
The horrified look on a patients face as you kill the doctor mid surgery.
The use of dragging somebody away mid surgery.
The hilarity of somebody full of port getting surgery.
Knocking people out, placing them on a table, cutting their stomach open and running for it.
Stealing all of medbays staple guns and nobody noticing.
Cons:
Stuff becomes a lot more dangerous.
More room for error in new players.
Shrapnel = Super bad.
More work for the janitor.
