is it possible to change the amount of materials ?

I get only being a doctor, but wouldn't it seem better to make it a little bit harder to get materials, say you need beer (Alcohol for disinfecting) cloth (similar to bandages) and then Herbal medicine. It would make it harder to make not because it needs more skill, but because it will take different professions to produce the different items needed and then a doctor to create the medicine.

Can the work type be changed from doctor to something other? Problem with current setup is that when I have workbench set to "Craft medicine until I have 10" and then I have full hospital of patients, doctor will treat first patient and then he heads out to crafting bench to craft medkits instead of treating other patiens. Only current fix is to manually suspend crafting of medkits each time there is medical emergency

Manual suspension isn't that hard at all, and you can easily prioritise patient treatment.
