The thing about the cryo chambers is that it's typically easier to mix the cryoxodone with cryostylane, mash it into a pill, and force people to quaff it. Outside of crit, patches are a cheaper, readily available healer. Inside of crit, cryox doesn't (as far as I know) try to fix heart problems (though it does heal oxy damage), requires you to remove your patient's spacesuit that they *always* have, and from what I can tell prevents you from monitoring and interacting with the patient.
And besides, whatever salbutamol and a fuckload of patches won't cure, the cloner will. Unless they're a puritan, in which case thanks for the mess.
What about making the cryo units more of a lifesaving measure than they already are, and require an MDoc to run it? Kind of like a sleeper that'll more or less guarantee that you'll survive in some measure. If they're good and old, just hopping in will extinguish you and prevent your lifecycles from ticking, like a sort of stasis. Then, an MDoc would press the Heal Jerk button and start healing the jerk in the tube.
Then with that OP nobody-dies device that only MDocs could use to its fullest usefulness, the medkits and patches could be relegated as a boo-boo fixer and something to stabilize you long enough to get to the tube. MDocs have a purpose (went to medschool to press a button nobody else can), Sec and everyone else can keep patching up wrestling injuries, and everything's perfect forever.
