The '''Medic''' is a Teutonic man of medicine with a tenuous adherence to medical ethics, and is nonetheless the primary [[healing]] class of the team. Although the Medic does not possess the greatest arsenal for direct combat, he can typically still be found near the front-lines, healing wounded team mates while trying to stay out of trouble. When his [[Medi Gun]] is focused on a team mate, they will quickly regain [[health]] points. Unharmed team mates will have their health [[Overheal|buffed]] beyond the normal limit, up to 150%. While healing, the Medic's unique [[ÜberCharge]] bar will fill up until the [[Weapons#medicsecondary|healing gun]] begins to crackle with small jolts of electricity, at which point he can activate a charge that makes himself and his patient take on highly beneficial effects for eight seconds ranging from temporary invulnerability with the standard Medi Gun, the guaranteed [[critical hits]] using the [[Kritzkrieg]] or the very rapid healing and immunity to [[knock back]] with the [[Quick-Fix]]. | The '''Medic''' is a Teutonic man of medicine with a tenuous adherence to medical ethics, and is nonetheless the primary [[healing]] class of the team.

The Medic is a Teutonic man of medicine with a tenuous adherence to medical ethics, and is nonetheless the primary healing class of the team. Although the Medic does not possess the greatest arsenal for direct combat, he can typically still be found near the front-lines, healing wounded team mates while trying to stay out of trouble. When his Medi Gun is focused on a team mate, they will quickly regain health points. Unharmed team mates will have their health buffed beyond the normal limit, up to 150%. While healing, the Medic's unique ÜberCharge bar will fill up until the healing gun begins to crackle with small jolts of electricity, at which point he can activate a charge that makes himself and his patient take on highly beneficial effects for eight seconds ranging from temporary invulnerability with the standard Medi Gun, the guaranteed critical hits using the Kritzkrieg or the very rapid healing and immunity to knock back with the Quick-Fix.
The Medic is capable of regenerating health over time; the longer a Medic stays out of combat, the faster his health will recover. An injured Medic will regenerate health at a rate of 3 HP per second, which scales up over the following ten seconds to a maximum of 6 HP per second, though it should be noted that carrying the Blutsauger reduces the regeneration rate from 3–6 to 1–4 and, conversely, the Medieval Medic item set will raise it to 4–7.
The Medic is voiced by Robin Atkin Downes.

- Due to the LOD of the Medic's ragdoll, a dead Medic's coat may sometimes stick straight up in the air when seen from far away.
Unused content
- In the GCF, there is an unused texture for a RED Medic, it features his beta hairstyle (lighter and shorter). It is listed as medic_head_red. Both teams in-game use the same head texture.
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 has a promo 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.
- Template:W served as the first Medic of the BLU team.
- The Medic keeps a flight of doves as pets, which are allowed to fly around in his office (despite hygiene concerns). One of them is named Archimedes. Archimedes 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 soon found out). The name was possibly inspired by Merlin's pet owl or from the ancient Greek scientist, Archimedes.
- According to one of the domination lines from the Demoman, the Medic has a wife.
