Are "healing tanks" the best sci-fi / future writer hacks ever?

Your main protagonist gets fukked up and almost dies to make the villian look strong

You want to get a hero out the story for a while

You want to resurrect a character you thought was dead

You don't even need to explain the technology or how it works. Just...get in the mystery water and put an oxygen mask on, and you're fine in an episode or an act.

It's actually funny now

No that would literally be “hacking”

You can write yourself into any corner and deus ex machina yourself out with “i hacked it”

The hive mind trope is the biggest hack.

In starship troopers you see the mechanical arm repairing ricos leg though. It's not something like magical vat of healing as probably a mass produced way to repair people
