If one of your crewmen is injured during a patrol, when you reach back port you are awarded a specific medal (can't remember its name right now) specifically for wounded personnel (some sort of Purple Heart).
But, if the crewman has fully recovered via the medic, you find yourself in the position of being unable to award that medal. So if you want to use that medal, you must keep the man wounded until back at base, i.e. to put him in another compartment than the medic.

That's a VERY useful info, thanks a lot. The feature is a realism killer a bit though.
