{{Quotation|'''The Medic'''|... Let's go practice medicine.|sound=LetsGoPracticeMedicine.wav}}
 +
 +
The '''Medic''' is a Teutonic man of medicine from [[w:Stuttgart|Stuttgart]], [[w:Germany|Germany]]. While he may have a tenuous adherence to medical ethics, he is nonetheless the primary [[healing]] class of the [[team]]. Although the Medic's [[Syringe Gun]] and [[Bonesaw]] aren't the most excellent weapons for direct combat, he can typically still be found near the front lines, healing wounded teammates while trying to stay out of enemy fire.
 +
 +
When the Medic focuses his [[Medi Gun]] on a teammate, they gradually regain [[health]] points. Teammates who are already at full health have their health [[Overheal|buffed]] beyond the standard limit, going up to 150% of their base health capacity (with the exception of weapons that have overheal penalties, such as the [[Fists of Steel]] and the [[Quick-Fix]]). Teammates who have not taken [[damage]] recently are healed more rapidly, encouraging other players withdrawals when injured.
 +
 +
When healing, the Medic gradually fills a unique [[ÜberCharge]] bar, which can fill faster if healing injured or not-fully-overhealed teammates. When the ÜberCharge bar is fully charged, the Medic's [[Weapons#medicsecondary|Medi Gun]] begins to crackle, accompanied by small electric [[Team]]-colored [[Particle effects|particles]] at its tip, indicating that he can now deploy a unique charge to benefit his healing target (and himself) for eight seconds. A charge from the Medi Gun offers temporary invulnerability; a charge from the [[Kritzkrieg]] grants guaranteed [[critical hits]]; the [[Quick-Fix]] grants rapid healing, along with immunity to [[knockback]] and [[compression blast]]s from [[Pyro]]s; and the [[Vaccinator]] grants enhanced damage resistance to a specific damage type ([[Ammunition|bullets]], [[Projectiles|explosives]], and [[fire]]).
 +
 +
Although the Medic cannot heal himself with his Medi Gun (unless using an ÜberCharge-deployed Quick-Fix or the Kritzkrieg's [[Oktoberfest]] taunt), he is capable of slowly regenerating health over time, and is the only class capable of doing this naturally. The longer a Medic stays out of combat and avoids taking damage, the greater the increments of health he passively heals. An injured Medic begins regenerating health at a rate of 3 health points per second, scaling up over the following ten seconds to a maximum of 6 health per second (this base rate can be positively affected by the [[Amputator]], and negatively affected by the [[Blutsauger]]). Healing injured teammates will double the current rate of health regeneration.
 +
 +
The Medic is [[Voice actors|voiced]] by [[Robin Atkin Downes]].

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.

The Medic puts his face to the barrel of the Kritzkrieg, inhales while laughing maniacally, and exclaims "Oktoberfest!". Afterward, he exhales, shakes his head, and refocuses.
 +
This taunt heals the Medic for 10 health.

 +
| description = {{Main|Spinal Tap}}
 +
The Medic enters a combat pose, thrusts his Ubersaw forward and retracts it while exclaiming, "I'm going to saw through your bones!", stunning and killing any enemies in the way.
 +
If the initial hit strikes an enemy, the Medic will be awarded 25% charge. If the retraction kills an enemy, the [[ÜberCharge]] meter gains 75% charge. The hit and retraction will end up equaling 100% but it is possible to only end up with 25% charge or 75% respectively if only the initial hit or the retraction connect for whatever reason.

 +
 +
== Bugs ==
 +
* The low-quality model of the Medic has a leak on his back. This is not commonly seen, since the Medi Gun and the Quick-Fix backpack covers it; however, since the [[Vaccinator]] has a different style of a backpack on a different placement, the leak is shown. It is also shown slightly when equipping the [[Medic Mech-bag]] or the [[Scrap Pack]] cosmetic items.
 +
* During [[humiliation]], the Medic's arm may appear bent and clips through his head if the secondary weapon is equipped.<ref>[https://youtu.be/DzOl4S_A6ao?t=75 Hand bug]<!-- Intentionally starts at the end, don't remove. Timestamp is in the description. Please do not remove unless patch notes/developers say it's fixed, it doesn't always happen and doesn't always happen under the same circumstances. --></ref>
 +
 +
== Trivia ==
 +
* The Medic's glasses and hair make an appearance in ''[[Worms: Reloaded]]'' as one of the selectable hats for the player's worms.
 +
* The Support class of ''[[Monday Night Combat]]'' had a promotional item of the Medic's backpack and the [[Engineer]]'s hardhat named "Doctor Dispenser."
 +
* The Medic was originally going to have an oversized needle presumably instead of the [[Bonesaw]], as referenced to in a 2006 trailer.
 +
* The [[Non-player characters#BLU team (original)|first BLU team]] Medic resembled [[w:Sigmund Freud|Sigmund Freud]].
 +
* Just like the rest of the classes, the Medic makes an appearance in the ''[[Saints Row: The Third]]'' in the form of a wearable head mask.
 +
* The Medic keeps a flock of doves as pets, which are allowed to fly around in his office (despite hygiene concerns). One of them is named [[Archimedes]], who is easily noted by having blood stains, unlike the other doves.
 +
** Archimedes is named after the ancient Greek scientist and seems to share his owner's fascination with blood, evidenced by his leaning in while watching surgery and nesting in open wounds (as both the [[Heavy]] and [[Scout]] learned).
 +
** According to the Archimedes plush in the Valve store and in-game item description, the Medic obtained Archimedes after hijacking a catering van during a prime minister's wedding.
 +
* The Medic, alongside the [[Pyro]], [[Heavy]], and [[Engineer]], appears as a familiar in the game [[w:Dungeon Defenders|Dungeon Defenders]].
 +
* The Medic was briefly given the name of ''Joseph Heilburger'' by ''Gaming Heads'', a video game merchandiser, when promoting a Medic figurine; it was removed and is regarded as non-canon. This was most likely taken from a fan-made Halloween update, which used the same name.
 +
* Medic's last name "Ludwig" was first used in [[:File:TheNakedandtheDead208.png|The Naked and the Dead, page 208]].
 +
* Medic's design is repurposed from the pre-release design concept known as [[Invasion]].
 +
** This can be seen in the concept art, certain concepts fit the steampunk sci-fi style rather than the early 20th century commercial illustration style the game released with.

Hello!

Your average dirt spud here, translating the TF2 wiki to Danish. If you would like to help, feel free to add me on Steam if you'd like someone to bounce off!

Just comment: "Potato ≠ Tomato" on my Steam Profile, and I'll be sure to add you.

Potato patch history

September 23, 2012 Patch (In the Ground)
  • Inexperienced potato spud got added to the wiki.

April 20, 2014 Patch (Pringly Plant (Slight Return))

  • Made a bunch of erroneous edits and got discouraged, stayed in the dirt some more.

April 3, 2019 Patch (Starting to Sprout)

  • After 4 years hiatus, I've built up an urge to really get back into translating this site into the bitter old language of Dansk!

February 4, 2020 Patch (Isolated Root)

September 9, 2022 Patch (Growth Arc)

  • After falling in and out of wiki-sprees, I'm finally (somewhat) committing to getting the Danish side of this site to a decent place.
  • Updated localization files.

Currently working on:
