The Medic' | The '''Medic''' is a [[Classes#Support|support class]] whose purpose is to provide continuous healing and intermittent invulnerability to his team. He has 150 health and 107% speed, and heals himself by up to 6 health per second, reduced to 3 health per second when damaged within 10 seconds, regeneration that is doubled while healing an injured teammate. His [[Medi Gun]] is his most iconic tool, providing a constant supply of healing and [[Overheal]] to teammates. Healing teammates will fill up your Ubercharge meter, which when activated, will turn the Medic and his patient invincible for 8 seconds. Alternatively, other weapons such as the [[Kritzkrieg]] and [[Rejuvenator]] have alternative Übers, with the [[Kritzkrieg]] providing guaranteed crits to the Medics patient, and the [[Rejuvenator]] providing a stationary, AOE uber to teammates in its radius. | ||
The Medic's | The rest of the Medic's arsenal consists of his [[Syringe Gun]] and his three melee weapons; the [[Überspritze]], the [[Bonesaw]], and the [[Shock Therapy]]. All of these weapons are largely ineffective in direct combat, with the [[Syringe Gun]] dealing a small amount of damage and knockback for each syringe. His weak combat ability combined with his powerful healing abilities results in enemies targeting him to prevent the Medic from getting an Übercharge to use in a push. As a result, he is often focused by pick classes like [[Sniper]], [[Spy]], and [[Scout]], as they are usually in the best position to kill him. To counter this, the Medic often never stands still, maintains awareness and heals stronger combat classes, such as [[Heavy]], [[Demoman]], and [[Soldier]] to protect him, push forward, and deal damage. | ||
The Medic is voiced by Robin Atkin Downes. | |||

What he lacks in compassion for the sick, respect for human dignity, and any sort of verifiable formal training in medicine, the Medic more than makes up for with a bottomless supply of giant needles and a trembling enthusiasm for plunging them into exposed flesh. Raised in Stuttgart, Germany during an era when the Hippocratic oath had been downgraded to an optional Hippocratic suggestion, the Medic considers healing a generally unintended side effect of satisfying his own morbid curiosity. | What he lacks in compassion for the sick, respect for human dignity, and any sort of verifiable formal training in medicine, the Medic more than makes up for with a bottomless supply of giant needles and a trembling enthusiasm for plunging them into exposed flesh.

*One of the [[Demoman]]'s responses suggests that the Medic might actually be married, and that his wife is having an affair with him. | |||
*One of the [[Sniper]]'s responses suggests he might have actually been paid by the Medic's own teammates to kill him, hinting that perhaps they might not be as receptive towards his practices than previously thought. | |||
