I had a similar idea to allow characters to be stabilized by a paramedic until they were at -10 hits, at which point they were unreadable (i.e. hamburger). Imposing a -1 per 5 minutes seems about right. Paramedic skill check would have to exceed the amount the person was negative to stabilize them.

This would mean a lot more duelists surviving - assuming arenas had paramedics on staff. There's a commercial incentive to keeping duelists alive as well. Stabilizing someone would probably be worth 2 skill points as well :)
