I have made two documents in related to the (currently un)official medical workgroup.

The documents comprise of a general overview of what medical gameplay should look like from an overarching design standpoint, and a second which goes over the goals and responsibilities of the medical workgroup.

I saw it as important to include the latter since due to the current and unique nature of medical development, we need a bit more freedom in terms of managing, merging, freezing, and closing medical related PRs than a design doc would offer. It also clearly outlines the scope of what we're doing so if people have questions they can get answers, and if people want to contribute they can know what they can contribute to and how.

Github actions keeps removing "design" from my design doc :(

That's because you're not modifying any files inside a proposals directory:

Overall I do like the medical design document - it gives a decent vision for how the system should feel.

Overall it's very good! There's was only two lines which caused me any confusion.

> And most important, if someone really wants you dead then medical shouldn't be able to reverse that easily.
> Round removal is an important part of round progression, and the threat an antagonist poses to the crew is directly linked to the damage they can do and how difficult it is to reverse it. An antagonist should be able to intentionally and permanently remove a target from the round and the station will have to manage that loss in the same way they might lose a machine or valuable item important to the station.
### Pillar 2: Damage shouldn't just be flavor

Some pillars have a period at the end, while others don't.

I feel this lays a pretty strong outline for how the medical department looks. The language is clear and doesn't cause any confusion, and overall the design described is a medbay I would like to play in.
