Injury/Medical System Issues and Proposed Solutions Issue: Amateur medical care being on par with professional medical care. Solutions: Prescription Medication and Over-the-Counter Medication. Medication can have side effects, with prescription medication side effects much more severe than OTC medication, and mixing medication can be dangerous. Only Doctors know what side effects pertain to what medicine, and which meds shouldn't be mixed, as well as what happens when you do mix meds and how to treat dangerous mixtures. Issue: Not enough non-fatal wounds, leading to large, useless medical supply. Solutions: Menial tasks can injure survivors based on their lack of skill in certain tasks (cooking, building, ect.) Amateur treatment may cause more issues than solve, leading to infection, sickness, and possibly death. This would all help the issues Doctors have leveling First Aid, as people would really want to be healed by a professional, instead of doing it themselves and possibly dying.

We need more ways to non-fatally injure ourselves. High Level first aid is really only practical for broken legs, and since most injuries are zombie bites/scratches, we usually die. We need things like smashing your hand with a hammer while building, cutting yourself while cooking, or even tripping and spraining your ankle because you're clumsy. Then the doctor can be more than a glorified stick crafter..
