pills arent as handy as they ought to be. regular pill bottles are compact, but awkward. you end up dumping them out a lot of the time. some medkits have entire slots dedicated to holding one solitary pill, pathetic! i propose blister packs as a new packaging and delivery method for pills.
you know, those foil/paper-backed blister/popper packets some pills come in.
-holds multiple pills, of course
-non-reusable, non-refillable
-simply click on the pack in your hand to pop one out of the pack and into your other hand. if you dont have another free hand it pops out onto the floor, oops.
-if that isnt quick and handy enough for you, perhaps the pill could be popped out of the pack and right into your mouth in one swift motion, but that raises problems with situations where you want to administer the pills to someone else
-most importantly, this will allow tox, o2, and brain damage kits to carry a better supply/variety of medicine rather than needing to waste and entire slot to carry a single pill. this could even open up slots for other items such as an autoinjector
-burn and brute kits would receive a blister pack of analgesic pills rather than their current single one
even if you dont like the idea of the blister packs, im sure you realize how silly it is for some medkits to be stocked with like 4 pills at best, so please consider at least including regular pill bottles in medkits if blister packs themselves are an un-needed new addition in your opinion
added fun: perhaps med borgs could be able to poop out blister packs or pill bottles of medicine brobot/vendorborg style for folks to pop. make it cost power like the rcd does if you need it to. an emagged medborg could poop out bottles of randomized hobo drugs like the pills you find lying around
