== Valve statement dismissing the Medic's Nazi connection ==
+
{{Talk archive
I have only found secondhand references to a supposed "official Valve statement" that dismisses the Medic having any kind of Nazi past.  I did track it down to here [http://www.tf2chan.net/dis/res/10989.html] that cites "fans that toured Valve" (which is perhaps a joke itself) but the link is dead.  I've seen zero official comments anywhere else and most forum posts are just perpetuating it without a source.  Can these references be removed entirely?  It's only speculation at this point and seems like something that lacks value in being repeated.  [[User:Malthenius|Malthenius]] 01:45, 01 December 2010 (UTC)

:: I still vote to have this trivia piece dropped.  It's unnecessary, negative attention to a rumor that has no evidence or backing whatsoever. _[[User:Malthenius|Malthenius]] [[File:Backpack_Sandvich.png|32px|link=User_talk:Malthenius]] 04:35, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

== New Taunt? ==
 
 
 
Today's (Nov. 19 2010) update stated that; Added the original Ubersaw taunt to the Vita-Saw. Has anybody tried this out yet?

:It's the same taunt as the Bonesaw, not the Übersaw.  Both are the "world's smallest violin" animations, but the Vita-Saw's violin sound is different in pitch and tone than the Bonesaw one. [[User:Malthenius|Malthenius]] 23:01, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 
:: I have tried it. When you taunt with the Vita-Saw you will taunt and play music the same way as if by the Bonesaw, but instead of hearing music played by violen, it plays the music by electric guitar. I think that is very cool.[[User:Jarhead|Jarhead]] 04:10, 5 December 2010 (UTC)Jarhead
 
:::I'm a little late to the party here but what they meant was the Übersaw's original taunt was the same as the bonesaw but with the deeper (if I remember right Viola) sounds. Then they added the Spinal Tap taunt kill for Übersaw and the sounds fell to the wayside until the Vita-saw got them. [[User:Sage J. Fox|Sage J. Fox]] 01:04, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Stuttgart? ==
 
 
 
Where does it say the Medic hails from Stuttgart? I often find myself lurking around the wiki, thinking I could use a reference. ~ <code>[[User:Lhavelund|<font color=red><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">'''lhavelund'''</span></font>]]</code> <sup>([[User_talk:lhavelund|t]] ▪ [[Special:Contributions/lhavelund|c]])</sup> 15:33, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

== My edit removed? ==
 
I had an edit under trivia that described that the Medic was the only healthy class. Admittedly, it wasn't perfect, but instead of being edited or revised, it was flat-out deleted. Could I get some clarification as to why? I believe mine was a worthy contribution to the page. [[User:HisMajesty|HisMajesty]] 15:49, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:We are removing all observational trivia from the pages. This is part of an ongoing effort to clean up the trivia pages on the site. If you feel like you need any further clarification, put a message on my talk page. --[[User:Subtlefuge|Subtlefuge]] 15:57, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Trivia suggestion ==
 
 
 
Medic is the only class who got a weapon with no downsides and yet better than his default one (and that is Amputator). [[User:Markfrompoland|Markfrompoland]] 21:08, 6 February 2011 (UTC)\
 
 
 
I think that might go better on the actual Amputator page or in interesting facts. [[User:Pierow|Pierow]] 05:58, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
== 100% Charge Doktor! ==
 
 
 
i just wanted to point out i changed the description in the ubersaw taunt kill stating that after a succesful taunt the entire uber charge bar is filled (the Hatless update) [[User:Gamecrazy009|Gamecrazy009]] 06:44, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Quote at the top ==
 
 
 
Does no one else think that "Now, most hearts couldn't withstand zis voltage, but I'm fairly certain your heart..." is a bit uninteresting/too specific to be the Medic's quote?
 
 
 
I would have thought that "Anyway, that's how I lost my medical license" or "I have no idea!" (Perhaps followed by 'The Medic, on his professional modus operandi'?) would be suitable...

== Taunt Attacks? ==
 
Now, let us consider something here.  Medic is the only class in which three of his taunts has in-game effects: the Oktoberfest, the Spinal Tab, and the Medicating Melody.  Now, all three of these taunts in question are currently classified as "Taunt Attacks" in the Medic page, (and perhaps in other pages, too).  As we know, only the Spinal Tap is a taunt in which another player is damaged, while the other two actually have a healing effect on the Medic and/or his teammates.  Shall we take a vote on the renaming of that section to something more suitable (I ask this, because no other character has taunts that do anything besides do damage or do nothing)?

: I'd be cool with renaming "Taunt Attacks" to something else, as long as they weren't broken up in to different sections. Maybe just "Effect Taunts", or "Sequence Taunts". That kinda has a ring to it. --[[User:SilverHammer|SilverHammer]] 18:12, 14 July 2011 (PDT)
 
:: "Special Taunt" maybe? [[User:Balladofwindfishes|Balladofwindfishes]] 18:17, 14 July 2011 (PDT)

== Medic! calls HUD bug (white square flash) ==
 
 
 
This is a somewhat recent bug that only shows up for those playing Medic, related to the Medic call HUD icons appearing as a white square for a single frame (including a white block on the top left corner of the screen). [http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1901366] Should this be added here or in the [[Heads-up display]] article in a new "Bug" section? [[User:Kusuri|Kusuri]] 12:26, 10 September 2011 (PDT)
 
 
 
== Corrected inaccuracy ==
 
 
 
I corrected an inaccuracy on the Quick-Fix. The Quick-Fix Ubercharge does not prevent knockback from airblast. You can still be airblasted while under the Quick-Fix's Ubercharge effects. [[User:Odin(Reborn)|Odin(Reborn)]] 11:30, 7 November 2011 (PST)
 
 
 
== Medic's Real name? ==
 
 
 
I read on the Night of the Living Update pages about a bunch of names of confirmed classes (Dell Conagher and Tavish Degroot) and among others, I noticed a german name called "Josef Heilberg" or something like that. Could that be Valve telling us that that's the medic's name?
 
 
 
Also, here is a page concerning downloaded reskins for Medic and Engineer items, giving Josef Heilberg's name and Dell Conagher, which is why I believe that this could possibly be medic's real name.

:Don't use Night of the Living Update to judge that is Medic's name. It's Community Update and doesn't have anything that tell in offical. [[User:Hinaomi|Hinaomi]] [[File:Killicon_unarmed_combat.png]] 10:28, 21 January 2012 (PST)
 
 
 
Oh, right. A community update. I thought it was official for some stupid reason. Oh well, I'm glad I asked you guys about the matter. [[User:Braden 0.0|Braden 0.0]] 11:45, 21 January 2012 (PST)
 
 
 
== Medic's Name Listed In Press Release ==
 
 
 
On January 31st, 2012 the company Gaming Heads, officially liscenced Valve merchandise manufacturer, posted a newsletter alongside the launch of the Medic statue preorder. Along with product shots and a biography his name and hometown are listed. The newsletter can be viewed here [https://www.gamingheads.com/newsletters/e45ee7ce7e88149af8dd32b27f9512ce-nl03.html].

:Why do you trust this data before checking everything that's true or not. I think it doesn't medic name at all and Motto is "Oktoberfest!" instead of "Prepare for your examination" I think it need to citation before add it. [[User:Hinaomi|Hinaomi]] [[File:Killicon_unarmed_combat.png]] 08:54, 31 January 2012 (PST)
 
:: I foresee this being added to the page a lot before it finally dies down. [[User:Balladofwindfishes|Balladofwindfishes]] 18:33, 31 January 2012 (PST)
 
 
 
== Germany? ==
 
 
 
 
 
The game takes place in '60-'70 right? So we say the Heavy come from USSR. Now, isn't  more correct say the Medic come from West Germany?
