The port-a-med is barely used IMO because good doctors don't come a dime a dozen, you are lucky even having one.
The port-a-med is I assume to be used by paramedics who would ideally quickly give some first aid and send you to some doctor for more in-depth treatment / blood analysis.
This usual only good doctor on station either
A)has a whole medbay on him when paramedicing because sending people back to medbay is stupid as he being the only (competent) medic will have to walk back and THEN treat
B)the only medic stays in medbay and everybody makes do outside when they can, bringing in poisoned, amputees or corpses, and calling for the medic on the radio when SHIT GOES DOWN
With tox damage from poisons people still bring people in mostly because medbay is the only real source of antitox, and in this case the medic would (ideally) also do some bloodwork if the patient doesn't recover quickly or is screaming about those fun messages sarin gives. Now that everybody can do the bloodwork anywhere, I expect the bartender to be MD 2.0 and the levels of metagaming to rise considerably against poisons.
But let's not beat around the bush here, the real problem is that people don't really play medic like with sec, and half of those who do are doing it half-assedly because they heard of karma on the chat or something, more concerned with keeping the doors to the medkits closed as to not become totally useless instead of helping that gasping dude who keeps collapsing or removing that corpse in the cryotube that they didn't even get there because said guy had to set himself cryo up at 20 minutes because nobody was helping him when HE was collapsing around because goddamn medics are useless and nobody is doing shit holy fucking christ.
