It would also be a valid option to take away the RD's authority over medbay and allow the HS to be a real boy once more, since you don't have to worry about balancing heads for rev mode any more.Isn't it more effective to report medical emergencies in the ; channel than in some job-specific channel? It's not like medical doctors are going to be the only ones rescuing the injured -- if they are, they'll be incredibly inefficient. The only reason I could see a private channel for medical doctors being used (since they usually stay in one room for the whole round or become a paramedic and ignore the medbay) is for general chatter. Engineers and security have to collaborate within their departments. Medical things tend to be a one-man job unless a civilian is doing CPR or something.
Please don't combine medical and research into one channel. The research staffs theory and research talk ought to be separate from the (rarely used) medical emergency talk.
