tl;dr Medic guide

By Kadetino

22/05/24: They nerfed morphine in the recent update (less efficient), guide still valid, but use opium drugs with caution.
I do need to test stuff again.

28/01/24: everything mentioned still valid.

Less text, more pictures, small, but useful.

Basically, everything is oversimpified.
