The Meet the Medic is a special taunt for the Medic.
When the player activates it through the taunts menu, the Medic performs a heroic pose with his secondary weapon as white stage lights and flying doves emanate around him to the tune of an angelic choir, similar to several shots in the Meet the Medic video, notably the closing shot of the Medic atop a pile of Soldier corpses.
