Boss I don’t know if I missed something you’ve said but uhhh… The dummy allows advanced surgery practice performed by nurses. I.e. you can practice (among other surgeries) how to fix broken bones on a surgical dummy.

Just add tutorial to nurse with dummy. I think only CMO have the dummy, so thats crap in lowpop.
When you press the dummy you can choose rng easy (fracs, brute erc)rng medium (broken bones lungs eyes etc) rng hard (heartbreak, larva removal) do the tutorial as long you want. Bam, graduated doctor.
Would love to see nurse allowed to operate fracture and broken bones but not heartbreak and larva removal.
Would be amazing if i see a doc say. “Nurse can you fix frac/broken and give blood while i take out the larva?”
Chem tutorial should be rng like req tutorial.
Npc that want ia and so on. Its easier to try with npc than hearing medics moan in looc.

We have a clear problem with medbay staff.
The “neglect of duty” clause in Marine Law feels like a “dead letter” when it comes to medical roles. It’s unreasonable to punish staff for struggling in an under-resourced and chaotic system.
Potential Solutions:
-
Mandatory training - It was already widely discussed in this thread.
-
Short-term job bans (e.g., 1 hour) for fatal incompetence that causes unnecessary deaths? These bans could include a note like, “Please review the doctor wiki” to encourage learning rather than punishing. It’s a small nudge that could improve the quality of medical roles without being overly harsh.
Example:
As a medic, I once had a FOB doctor throw a dead patient onto the Alamo while I was trying to defib->dexa->stasis to stabilize them. While I understand the pressure they were under, it felt like they were just making it “someone else’s problem.” Situations like this highlight the need for better training and preparation.
What do you think? Would short bans or mandatory training help?

A lot of people talk here about punishing “incompetent” or “bad doctors”, but I genuinely feel like this would make the situation even worse long term. Medbay, relatively speaking - is already a semi-dead department only needed to stuff field medics’ pockets with chems roundstart and to do larva removal surgery, as everything else literally can be handled by a SINGLE doctor being deployed to FOB. Incentivize learning and such, sure, but I feel like actual punishment would discourage people from playing in Medical at all, as it already a very dull experience to begin with.
