GIVE SURGERY TABLES MOBILITY

[Sundance]

Alternatively, some operations can be performed on people buckled to a bed. Because it doesn't encompass certain essentials such as limb reattachment, you may want to use a regular table instead, which requires the patient to be unconscious, for example by breathing N2O. Should proper tools be unavailable, shards and chainsaws may be substituted for scalpels and saws respectively, but there are of course certain risks involved with back alley surgery. Likewise, a significant amount of liquid courage is a must before you can perform self-surgery without an operating table.

I'm against this idea for balancing reasons. The big bull in the room is that it will just be dragged behind to go on a debraining rampage. 
But also you can already operate on people buckled to a bed, such as removing shrapnel and the lark (not alot of people know this, at all), but the ol' operate on yourself hack isn't comparable with bed surgery so I can see why it didn't catch on, *cough 
This has worked for me on numerous occasions when someone has been headspidered, grab a glass shard, buckle them to a bed and remove. 
It's not that they need to be in crit, it's that they need to be unconscious. Another trick that people seem to forget. Hooked up to n20 or tased into unconsciousness both work for surgery.

Not many people trust n20 as it's cumbersome. It's extremely useful (and almost necessary now with hypo/hyper tension) when doing extensive surgery such as robotics. 

The one thing that isnt used as much as it should is morphine. It's due to the addiction/knockout rate and how addiction is essentially coded, that it rolls a 50:50 chance of getting a crippling addiction for every tick (I think?) that it's in your system. Essentially relegating morphine to pure grief chem rather than being actually used for a medical purpose. It should work as a painkiller in tiny amounts 1-2u, a knockout chem for backyard surgery in medium amounts, 10u and a low overdose at 15u so you'll need to be careful. Honestly the addiction just friggin ruins it serving any purpose at all.
