Personally I think the system we have now is pretty swell, at least when Doctors aren't hiding First Aid Kits in the break room or something like that (I was WONDERING where all of those things kept running off to....) Doing that is pretty lousy and should stop. That being said, SS13 is inevitably going to have staff shortages/issues. Heads are murdered, no one signs up to be an engineer or a doctor, the only security guard is AFK, etc etc etc. If we make it easier for people to do it themselves, though, then why exactly do we have jobs in the first place? The HoP terminal (and the HoP) exists for a reason, as do all of the jobs on the station. Actively discouraging crew cooperation and interaction just turns it into Shy Station 13.
Why not meet halfway? We already have a small surgery station near the bar (arguably the epicenter of death and destruction next to Medbay itself) stocked with a few medical supplies and a surgery table. Why not take it a step further and toss a few 'Emergency First Aid Stations' in Maintenance or in the hallway? Nothing crazy, mind you, just a small cabinet stocked with a few patches and bandages? That way Medical Staff still gets to play Spehss Doctor and crewmembers knocking on Death's Door don't have to waste their last breath saying 'Aaaaaiiiiiii..... Dooooooorrrrrrr'.
I like your suggestion about the different Emergency Equipment, Sundance! I also agree that there's already a lot of Medical Stuff lying around. Maybe if they were limited to Medbay and public Emergency First Aid Stations it could work out. That way no one has an excuse to not find the darn stuff.

Currently there's 3 medpaks in sec/bridge, 2 in crew quarters, several in emergency storage beside the bar, burn meds in engineering, burn and tox meds in science and probably more that i'm forgetting (oh also oxygen meds in oxygen crates)
