Have some sort of craftable "medkit" (could be a group of tools even) ie: Metal Needle: hardmetal nugget+Silk fiber x3, Bandage x2, Poultice x 4
Which requires other players to use it on you. Promting a permissions popup to heal you, you "lie down" while they are choosing up to X wounds and the time it takes is based on total damage being healed.
Or atleast another way to heal wretched gore, and add something like wounded limb or something "character defining" to take the "permanent hhp damage" slot.
