I could definitely see the merit in merging sleepers and cryotubes for space conservation and simplicity. That being said, I'd be sad at getting rid of cryotubes as they're the cooler looking of the two. D:
Medical treatment is quick and simple simply because it needs to be that way. One competent MD can take care of the whole station when not dealing with redsuits, skilled redborgs, or redmins. The problem is there aren't enough competent doctors who are actively doctoring. A valid treatment for the average doctor is "Welp, yer certainly fucked alright. Off to the cloner with ye! *fart" This is certainly lazy, but it's a logical assessment if you're dealing with deep crit and not carrying around the pentetic, synth, and other chemicals in your superkit that took you 15 minutes to put together. In this and many other cases, a sleeper that works like a stasis pod will actually increase the amount of things an average MD can do.
So what am I up for? Yeah, stasis pods. Keep the cryotubes, cause they're cool, and make the sleepers decrease the effect of each cycle by a good deal. If it can reduce the dependency on cloning then slapping a few more sleepers in medlobby wouldn't be a bad idea. I personally wouldn't mind it if cloners got nerfed to the point that the random joe didn't get cloned; or even if they were gotten rid of completely. Though if it went that far more countermeasures against death like this would be needed.
