	With clever use of Cryogenics, it is possible to reverse rotting in the event that a corpse is brought in decayed past the point of defibrillation (or in the event you were busy and didn't notice they were close to rotting.) The chemical Opporozidone (often referred to as Oppo) reverses rotting when used in conjunction with a Cryo pod, and can be created in-house by your chemists. Remain aware that Oppo is incredibly expensive ~~to make~~, requiring Cognizine and plasma to create, and therefore should be used ~~incredibly~~ sparingly. Prevention is still the best medicine.

Remain aware that Oppo is '''incredibly expensive''', requiring Cognizine and plasma to create, and therefore should be used sparingly. Prevention is still the best medicine.

	Pro Tip: You can place a beaker that is 50% Oppo and 50% Cryoxadone into a Cryo pod to avoid using more Oppo than is necessary on a single rotted patient.

	There will be times in which you will be brought in corpses that are ''technically'' recoverable but that would be an ''incredible time sink to revive.'' Corpses recovered from space with several hundred cold damage and near-incinerated passengers with near a thousand heat damage are certainly ''recoverable,'' but it is up to you to decide if you have the time and materials necessary to revive them in any semblance of a timely manner. While topicals such as ointment treat all forms of heat damage, they do so slowly and have long do-after bars to provide that little bit of healing at a time. If you lack a Cryo setup (or have inexperienced chemists and lack the time / resources to help them make Cryo meds) it may take you several uninterrupted minutes and countless tubes of ointment to revive even one patient in this state.

	This is not to say that you should never, ever treat them. Maybe the station is doing incredibly well and you have nothing better to be doing. Maybe Cargo gifted you a ton of topicals after you gave their Salvage team medical supplies to-go. Maybe the poor soul dragged in with over a thousand heat damage is the HoP or Captain. Whether or not you ~~revive~~ someone with incredibly time-consuming injuries is entirely at your discretion, and depending on the situation you will have your own rationales backing whichever decision you make.
