Meet the Medic is an unreleased short in the Meet the Team series, featuring the Medic. It is set to be released by the end of the Über Update.

Speculation

In March 2011, user "Political Gamer" visited Valve headquarters in Bellevue, Washington, and confirmed the production of Meet the Medic.[1] Videogame.it[2] took a photograph of a poster at the Valve HQ depicting the Medic posing alongside several flying doves.

The comic Meet the Director, released alongside the Replay Update on May 5, 2011, featured a panel that depicted the Administrator at her control panel with a similar image of the Medic appearing on one of the displays. The image shows the Medic surrounded by doves again in a similar setting to the photograph from Valve HQ.

On June 8, 2011, a patch to Team Fortress 2 was released and included an update that placed several doves in various positions in Valve maps. The doves explode upon contact but do not cause players damage. On June 17, 2011, an additional patch was released which added a secondary dove model with animations. Later the same day, the page layout of the TF2 Official Blog was updated to feature three doves perched upon the title banner, which was covered by bird droppings. Each dove linked to three separate hidden images depicting a rundown hospital, an empty hospital waiting room, and a doctor's office.

As of June 20th, 2011, the doves on the main page have been removed.
