Thank you all for the replies!
The discussion around puritans has been a joy to read as well. As acknowledged, perhaps Puritan is a bit too easy to get around. A knowledgeable medical team can easily bring back anyone from death.
I took the time yesterday to have one-on-one discussions with people who spend a lot of time in medical, and they definitely helped open my eyes a bit on some of the challenges and realities. Newer doctors and crew rely heavily on cloning - so much so that I was told a story about how on one particular shift, the crew was just beating the dying people to death so they could clone them quicker. I had not considered this in my original post, that cloning provides an easier way for newer doctors to engage in medical and still be beneficial.
I would not call myself a doctor main, but I consider myself knowledgeable enough that when someone gets brought in, I can tell if I can treat them or if I have to clone them. Part of me wants to have a challenging experience where I have to apply all I've learned to save their lives- and part of me knows that I can just wait fifteen seconds for them to succumb to their wounds and clone them. Many a time someone has come in with 4 organs failing and I want to do surgery, tactically toggling various chemicals, and letting them go about their day. With that said, I understand that more in depth surgery and medical is probably not aligned with Goon's overall idea philosophy and it's not a big issue at all for me.
Security officers have their Robust moments where they outwit a vampire and take them down through intimate knowledge of combat, tactics, and sheer luck at times. I think I just long for more opportunities to dive into medical more than "remove the pancreas from pancreatitis customers, Apply Mender to the Forehead, and press the cloning button". Those rare critical moments are few and far between, and I cherish them every time they happen.
