Medkit vice Medikit

pp.97 & 109: may just be personal preferences, but we all referred to this as "Medkit", not "Medikit", and we have a surgeon, Army PA and soldier in our group.
 
Also, the medkit that can be mounted in/on armor.

On page 97
"TL11: A military medikit can also inject Combat or Slow drugs and the Slow Drug antidote on command. Costs Cr10000"

Sounds great, until you read page 109
"Slow Drug (TL11): This is a variant of the metabolic accelerator. It can only be applied safely in a medical facility where life-support and cryotechnology is available, as it increases the metabolism to around thirty times normal, allowing a patient to undergo a month of healing in a single day. Using Medicinal Slow outside of a hospital or sickbay is a messy and painful way to commit suicide, as the user will rapidly cook his internal organs and suffer massive brain damage. Medicinal slow costs Cr500 per dose."

On page 94 of the 1st ed core book, we find that what is now called "slow drug" was called "Medical Slow" and in fact is called that in description.

I strongly suspect that where the medikit says "Slow drug" it means "Metabolic Accelerator" using the new names. Unless you mean that TL 11 medikits have a messy suicide option built in, of course.
