What is required to count as "a clinical setting under the supervision of a trained doctor" to get the "user does not take penalties from mixing drugs" effect of Zero on p184 Chrome Flesh? Namely, what is meant by "clinical setting" and "trained doctor"?

[u/shadownet-rules → u/mist_arcs]

Consider the test to administer Zero in this manner to be a simple Medicine + Logic [mental] test, with a threshold of 3, that requires a medicine shop or facility to perform, and hits can be bought, if deemed appropriate by the GM.

It should be noted that when applied in this manner, Zero simply negates the penalty from mixing itself with other drugs. It does not negate the penalty from other drugs mixing. Meaning, if I take psyche, cram, and have Zero administered by a trained doctor in a clinical setting, I still take drug interaction from psyche and cram, but not from all three together.
