Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Now that Tricordrazine deals brain damage on overdose, Medbots by default should cap their injections of Tricord at the OD threshold.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Stops people from ODing due to overzealous Medbots; makes Medbots more useful.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Medbots now have a safety setting toggle.
While the safety is toggled on, whenever a Medbot is triggered to inject and treat a patient, it automatically adjusts the injection dosage such that it doesn't exceed the threshold for overdosing. For example, if a Medbot is set to inject 15 U of Tricord, and a patient has 25 U of Tricord in their system, it will reduce the dosage to 5 U (so it doesn't exceed the threshold of 30 U). If there is no safe dosage the Medbot can administer to a patient (because it has 30 U Tricord or more), it will ignore the patient until it can safely inject him.
While the safety is toggled off (which can only be done when the Medbot's controls are unlocked), it will follow its default behaviour.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Minor coding changes.

This seems pretty reasonable.
