“

All I can tell you about zis next procedure is zat it will be...excruciating! Click to listen — The Medic giving some "pre-operation encouragement."

”

A Teutonic man of medicine with a tenuous adherence to medical ethics, the Medic is nonetheless the primary healing class of the team. Although the Medic does not possess the best arsenal for direct combat, he can typically still be found near the front-lines, healing wounded teammates while trying to stay out of trouble. When his Medi Gun or Kritzkrieg is focused on a teammate, they will quickly regain health. Unharmed teammates will have their health buffed beyond the normal limit, up to 150%. While healing, the Medic's ÜberCharge bar will fill up until the weapon begins to crackle, at which point he can then activate a deadly charge that either makes himself and an ally temporarily invulnerable or gives his patient the ability to fire 100% Critical hits for up to 8 seconds.

The Medic is capable of regenerating health over time; the longer a Medic stays out of combat, the faster his health will recover. A damaged 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 carrying the Blutsauger reduces the regeneration rate from 3–6 to 1–4, and the Medieval Medic item set will raise it to 4-7).

The Medic is voiced by Robin Atkin Downes.

Bio

Name: Unknown Location of origin: Template:W Job: Doctor Assisted Homicide Motto: "Prepare for your examination" Emblems:    Description: What he lacks in compassion for the sick, respect for human dignity, and any sort of verifiable formal training in medicine, the Medic more than makes up for with a bottomless supply of giant needles and a trembling enthusiasm for plunging them into exposed flesh. 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.

Trivia

• The Medic was the first class of the 9 to receive his own class specific update. This update was prompted due to players feeling that the Medic was underpowered and was therefore the least played class overall. After the Gold Rush/Medic Update was released, the amount of players playing Medic on a regular basis increased dramatically.
• Although he lived through the Second World War and his bio hints at a dark past, Valve has stated that the Medic is not a former Nazi. ^{[citation needed]}
• Along with the Pyro, the Medic has not received any new lines, either in-game or in the Meet the Team videos, since Team Fortress 2 was released.
• The Medic's glasses and hair make an appearance in Template:W 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's glasses and hair as a selectable Worms: Reloaded worm hat.

• 

  The in-game item for Monday Night Combat: "Doctor Dispenser".
