'''''Meet the Medic''''' is the penultimate short in the ''[[Meet the Team]]'' series, featuring the [[Medic]]. It was released on Thursday, June 23rd, 2011, the final day of the [[Über Update]].
 
 
 
The final few seconds of the film announce that ''Team Fortress 2'' would be free-to-play forever.

In March 2011, user "Political Gamer" visited [[Valve]] headquarters in Bellevue, Washington, and confirmed the production of ''Meet the Medic''. <ref>"[http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1803644 Back from Valve]" on [[Steam Users' Forums]], [http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/member.php?u=588243 Political Gamer], posted March 22, 2011. Accessed June 18, 2011.</ref>. They took a [[Media:Meet the Medic dove poster.jpg|photograph of a poster]] at the Valve HQ, depicting the Medic posing alongside several flying [[doves]].<ref>"[http://www.videogame.it/valve-software/95792/quattro-passi-nella-mecca-del-pc-gaming.html Videogame.it Valve HQ Article] posted April 1, 2011. Accessed June 20, 2011.</ref>
 
 
 
The [[comics|comic]] ''[[Meet the Director]]'', released alongside the [[Replay Update]] on May 5, 2011, featured [[Media:Director 10.jpg|a page]] which depicted the [[Administrator]] at her control panel, with a number of screenshots from Meet the Medic on the displays.
 
 
 
On June 8, 2011, a [[June 8, 2011 Patch|patch]] to ''Team Fortress 2'' was released and included an update that placed several doves in various positions in Valve [[list of maps|maps]]. The doves explode upon contact but do not cause players damage. On June 17, 2011, an [[June 17, 2011 Patch|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 pages|hidden images]] depicting [[Media:Hospital.jpg|a rundown hospital]], [[Media:Waitingroom.jpg|an empty hospital waiting room]], and a [[Media:Doctorsoffice.jpg|doctor's office]].
 
 
 
Part of the rundown hospital seen in the first hidden image can be seen in the background of the [http://www.teamfortress.com/classes.php?class=medic Medic's page] on the official site, fully modeled.
 
 
 
On June 20, 2011, ''Meet the Medic'' was confirmed by TF2 Official Blog, and its release was announced to coincide with the [[Über Update]], to be released on June 23.<ref>"[http://teamfortress.com/post.php?id=5703 The Über Update, Day One]", TF2 Team, TF2 Official Blog, posted June 20, 2011. Accessed June 21, 2011.</ref> The doves that were perched on the site banner of the [[TF2 Official Blog]] were removed as part of the website redesign.

 +
 +
On {{Patch name|06|8|2011|date=true}}, a patch to ''Team Fortress 2'' was released and included an update that placed several [[doves]] in various positions in Valve [[List of maps|maps]]. The doves exploded upon contact, but did not cause players damage. On {{Patch name|06|17|2011|date=true}}, an additional patch was released which added a secondary dove model with animations.

Each dove linked to three separate [[Hidden pages|hidden images]] depicting [[Media:Hospital.jpg|a rundown hospital]], [[Media:Waitingroom.jpg|an empty hospital waiting room]], and [[Media:Doctorsoffice.jpg|a doctor's office]].
 +
 +
Part of the rundown hospital seen in the first hidden image can be seen in the background of the [https://www.teamfortress.com/classes.php?class=medic Medic's page] on the official site, fully modeled.
 +

On June 20, 2011, ''Meet the Medic'' was confirmed by the TF2 Official Website and its release was announced to coincide with the [[Über Update]], to be released on June 23.<ref>"[https://teamfortress.com/post.php?id=5703 The Über Update, Day One]", TF2 Team, TF2 Official Website, posted June 20, 2011.</ref> The doves that were perched on the site banner of the [[TF2 Official Website]] were removed as part of the website redesign.
 +
 +
== Notes ==
 +
* The music that plays when the [[Scout]] and [[Demoman]] are fleeing from a barrage of rockets is a slowed down version of [[Faster Than a Speeding Bullet]], the same song used in [[Meet the Scout]].
 +
* The title card displays "COPYRIGHT LOLOLOL" on the bottom right corner, a recurring joke throughout the ''Meet the Team'' videos.
 +
* Throughout the [[Heavy]]'s procedure, an X-ray of his body is in the background, showing a bomb lodged inside him. The extracted bomb can be spotted in a bucket behind the [[Medic]]. This is the same bomb on the ''Meet the Medic'' title card.
 +
* The Heavy's [[Minigun]] can be spotted in the background of a few operating room shots, resting on its own stretcher.
 +
* The Medic's [[Overdose]] is next to the bucket containing the extracted bomb.
 +
* A heart monitoring device titled "CARDIOSCAN 2000" can be seen working behind the Heavy early in the video. When his heart is destroyed, the line on the monitor goes flat. The next time it is seen, after the Medic retrieves a new heart, it resumes its old display (as if the machine detected the heart's presence).
 +
* [[Non-player characters#Archimedes|One of the Medic's doves]] is named after [[w:Archimedes|Archimedes]], a Greek mathematician, physicist, {{botignore|engineer}}, inventor, and astronomer.
 +
* A mysterious figure resembling [[Miss Pauling]] can be seen through the window at 0:56 and again at 1:22.
 +
* At 1:03, the entire contents of the fridge are visible: three hearts, the [[Sandvich]], three bottles of [[List of companies|Red Shed]] beer, the BLU [[Spy]]'s head (alive), a battery for his head, and an ashtray for his cigarettes.
 +
** The labels on the hearts at 1:04 read "Loch Ness Hamster" and "Mega Baboon", respectively. The smallest heart appears to have no label on it.
 +
* Despite the Medic believing otherwise, human ribs are actually capable of growing back when properly shortened.<ref>{{cite web|title=Rib Thoracoplasty|url=https://www.scoliosis.org/resources/medicalupdates/ribthoracoplasty.php|author=National Scoliosis Foundation|retrieved=November 27, 2015}}</ref>
 +
* At 1:48, Scout's Default Bat and a black bag can be seen on top of the closet in the background, at first glance, the two objects together look like the [[Battalion's Backup]]. Additionally, there's a sombrero next to it.
 +
* At 2:28, a [[Pyro]] can be seen running in its [[Humiliation]] pose, quickly disappearing into the black smoke on the right.
 +
* In the opening, when the Demoman is fleeing from the BLU [[Soldier]]s in a wheelchair, he has a bandage over the top part of his head and an eyepatch worn on top of the bandage. Later, when the Demoman is healed by the Medic, he rips off the bandage with the eyepatch on it to reveal another eyepatch underneath the bandage.
 +
** Similarly, when he is fleeing from the Soldiers in the first battlefield scene, his [[Stickybomb Launcher]] rests on his lap and is his only visible weapon. In the second battlefield scene, the [[Grenade Launcher]] replaced the Stickybomb Launcher, but after an explosion sends him flying out of his wheelchair, the weapon that lands in front of him is, mysteriously, the Stickybomb Launcher instead of the Grenade Launcher he was just holding.
 +
* In the up-close scene of the Demoman fleeing the Soldiers, the [[Engineer]] and [[Sniper]] are missing.
 +
* The [[Quick-Fix]] uses sounds from the [[Medi Gun]].
 +
* Despite the Quick-Fix being incapable of providing invulnerability in-game, the Medic is able to use it to make the Heavy invulnerable via an [[ÜberCharge]]. The fourth day of the Über Update explains that the Quick-Fix's first ÜberCharge, seen in the video, permanently shorted out the invulnerability feature of the gun.
 +
* Although the Heavy was ÜberCharged, his Minigun doesn't glow in team colors as in the game.
 +
* After the Heavy kills the Soldiers onscreen and continues to fire at unseen enemies, the Medic poses as in the "Meet the Medic" taunt. A medi-beam is no longer connected to the Heavy, yet the Heavy continues to be ÜberCharged.
 +
* At 3:16, while the Heavy is ÜberCharged, a rocket hits him and explodes on contact. However, at 3:22 and 3:26, rockets are seen bouncing off the Heavy and exploding.
 +
* While the Heavy is hiding behind the truck, the army of Soldiers are wearing various hats such as the [[Soldier's Stash]], [[Stainless Pot]], [[Lumbricus Lid]], and [[Proof of Purchase]].
 +
** Also, when Heavy steps on top of the Soldier's head, the Soldier is seen wearing an [[Armored Authority]], released on the same date as the [[Über Update]].
 +
* In the final scene, the Engineer is strumming ''[[A Little Heart to Heart (Soundtrack)|A Little Heart to Heart]]''. Next to him is a Ciggy Stop vending machine, identical to the one in the Intelligence room in ''[[Meet the Spy]]''.
 +
* In the waiting room, the Pyro is reading a magazine called "MAN MAN", which features the RED Spy and Scout on the cover and has ''[[The Insult That Made a "Jarate Master" Out of Sniper]]'' on the back cover. Pyro is also seen reading this same magazine in [[Expiration Date]].
 +
* Since the {{Patch name|6|17|2011}}, a dove sometimes flies out of [[Gibs|gibbed]] Scouts. This foreshadowed the final gag of the video, where Archimedes is left inside the Scout's chest after his operation.
 +
* It was revealed in the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zri1c_If6Ic Source Filmmaker introduction video] that the hospital battle scene is actually a modified version of [[Badwater Basin]]. The spawn that the Medic walks out of appears to be one of the exits in [[5Gorge]], while the rocky hillside seems to be inspired by [[DeGroot Keep]] (both were released December 2010).
 +
* In some leaked developer files of [[Source Filmmaker]], some stills of an old version of ''Meet The Medic'' can be found featuring an injured Scout, Soldier, Demoman, and Heavy. However, their bandages and wounds were clearly edited in post.
 +
** Concept art from the final scene can be found in the files as well.
 +
* The [[Voodoo-Cursed Soul]] models of [[Voodoo-Cursed Scout Soul|Scout]], [[Voodoo-Cursed Demoman Soul|Demoman]], [[Voodoo-Cursed Heavy Soul|Heavy]], and [[Voodoo-Cursed Medic Soul|Medic]] reflect the classes' injuries and blood stains portrayed in the video.

On July 11, 2011, the TF2 Team posted several outtakes from ''Meet the Medic'' on the [[TF2 Official Website]], three of which depict the Medic speaking with an American accent and narrating his invention of the Medi Gun.<ref>http://tf2.com/post.php?id=5816</ref>

* The hospital in one of the hidden images resembles the [[w:Pacific Tower (Seattle)|Pacific Tower]] close to Valve headquarters in Seattle, USA.
 +
* According to an article posted on the [[TF2 Official Website]] on July 11, 2011, ''Meet the Medic'' was originally intended to be an interview-style video, similar to the earlier ''Meet the Team'' videos. The video would have explained how the Medic accidentally discovered the healing formula used for his Medi Gun and its ability to ÜberCharge. It was scrapped because the animators thought that it didn't really reflect what people truly thought of when they hear "the Medic".
 +
** Robin Atkin Downes, the Medic's voice actor, uploaded a short snippet of himself [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPmo0gxdMCc recording the lines] for this ''Meet the Team'' short, as well as a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJtpnsYdEKA redubbed] version of the outtakes with the Medic's voice.
 +
** In the second outtake (''My Darkest Moment''), the Spy, who shoots the blood bag and is then decapitated and used as a blood resource, appears to be on the same team as the Medic (RED). However, the mask on his head can be seen to change color to blue once it is separated from his body, indicating that he was the disguised BLU Spy.
 +
** In the outtake ''Kill Me'', the Medic shoots more than 6 bullets with the Revolver.
 +
*** It can also be noted that the healing formula created in the outtake is made of Jarate, a Sandvich, a small Medkit, and blood while being charged with electricity from broken equipment.
 +
* On June 20, 2013, a level was added to ''[[Surgeon Simulator 2013]]'' that allows the player to perform the operation depicted in the video as the Medic on the Heavy. The various tools found in the game are also replaced with ''TF2'' weapons, such as the [[Knife]] and [[Bonesaw]].
 +
** The achievements awarded for completing different tasks in the level are named after quotes from ''Meet the Medic'', such as "Don't Be Such A Baby, Ribs Grow Back!" and "Let's Go Practice Medicine."

* The hospital seen in one of the hidden images resembles the [http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=47.594139,-122.316939&spn=0.004471,0.011458&t=h&z=17&layer=c&cbll=47.594203,-122.31679&panoid=DmFqiuzDJkxVJ8ge-z9ejw&cbp=12,165.68,,0,-3.2 Pacific Medical Center] in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, close to Valve headquarters.
 
* A mysterious woman resembling [[Miss Pauling]] can be seen through the window at 0:56 and again at 1:22.
 
*At 1:03, the entire contents of the fridge can be viewed: three hearts, a [[Sandvich]], three bottles of Red Shed beer, a BLU [[Spy]]'s Head (alive), a battery for his head, and an ashtray for his cigarettes.
 
**Considering the over turned bottle and the half eaten Sandvich at the bottom shelf of the fridge, this fridge may be the very same featured in [[Meet the Sandvich]].
 
*Throughout the [[Heavy]]'s procedure, an X-Ray of his body can be seen in the background, which shows a bomb lodged inside. The extracted bomb can be spotted in a bucket behind the Medic.
 
**This is the same bomb seen in the "Meet the Medic" title card.
 
*Despite the [[Quick-Fix]] being incapable of providing invulnerability in-game, the Medic is able to use it to make the Heavy invulnerable via Übercharge in Meet the Medic. The fourth day of the Über Update explains that the Quick-Fix's first Übercharge, seen in the video, permanently shorted out the invulnerability feature of the gun and it could never be used again.
 
*In the waiting room at the end of the video, the [[Pyro]] can be seen reading a magazine. The back of the magazine appears to be ''[[Comics|The Insult That Made a "Jarate Master" Out of Sniper]]''.
 
*For a short period before the Über Update, doves would sometimes fly out of [[Scouts]] after they were killed. This foreshadowed the final gag of the video, in which Archimedes is left inside the Scout's chest after his operation.
 
*The various hats worn by the army of BLU [[Soldier]]s include the [[Frontline Field Recorder]], [[Stainless Pot]], [[Proof of Purchase]], [[Soldier's Stash]], [[Lumbricus Lid]], [[Grenadier's Softcap]], and [[Armored Authority]]. A number of Soldiers are seen wielding unlockable weapons as well, including the [[Direct Hit]], and the [[Equalizer]].
 
*A broken-down van similar in appearance to the Sniper's camper van can be seen in the tunnel the Medic comes out of when he heals the [[Demoman]] and the Scout. Whether the two vehicles are one and the same is unknown.
 
*One of the Medic's doves shares its name with "{{w|Archimedes}}", the Greek mathematician, physicist, {{botignore|engineer}}, inventor, and astronomer.
 
*When the Heavy and Medic reach the top of the Soldier pile, the Medic deactivates the Quick-Fix; however, the Heavy continues to be invulnerable.
 
*The Heavy's [[Minigun]] can be spotted in the background of a few operating room shots, resting on its own stretcher.
 
*The Medic's [[Overdose]] can be seen underneath the bucket containing the extracted bomb.
 
*A heart monitor can be seen working behind the Heavy early in the video. When his heart is destroyed, the line on the monitor goes flat. The next time it is seen, after the Medic retrieves a new heart, it resumes its old display.
 
**Strangely, one would not expect the monitor to display anything but a flat line when there is no heart connected to the body.
 
*When the Demoman is fleeing from the Soldiers in the second battlefield scene, his [[Grenade Launcher]] rests on his lap and is his only visible weapon. An explosion sends him flying out of his wheelchair, and the weapon that lands in front of him is, mysteriously, the [[Stickybomb Launcher]] instead of the Grenade Launcher he was just holding.
 
*Despite the Heavy being fully healed after his procedure, during the process it should be noted that his rib never does grow back even when everything else does, confirming the Medic's statement that ribs do not grow back.
 
*During the scene where the Demoman attempts to escape the BLU Soldiers, a RED Pyro is briefly seen running away behind a rock in the humiliation pose. The Pyro is holding the Flamethrower despite the humiliation animations disabling weapon models when seen in-game.
 
*In the beginning of the video, the Scout is seen with bandages over his shirt. Later in the video when he is healed by the Medic, the Scout no longer has those bandages on.  Scout also isn't wearing the bag for his bat, which is normally swung over his shoulder, for the entire video.
 
*At the very end of the video, in the waiting room, there is a ticket with the number ten on it.

Video transcript

Pre-release

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

The comic Meet the Director, released alongside the Replay Update on May 5, 2011, featured a page depicting the Administrator at her control panel, showing a number of screenshots from Meet the Medic on the displays.

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 exploded upon contact, but did 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 Website 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.

Part of the rundown hospital seen in the first hidden image can be seen in the background of the Medic's page on the official site, fully modeled.

On June 20, 2011, Meet the Medic was confirmed by the TF2 Official Website and its release was announced to coincide with the Über Update, to be released on June 23.[3] The doves that were perched on the site banner of the TF2 Official Website were removed as part of the website redesign.

Notes

  • The music that plays when the Scout and Demoman are fleeing from a barrage of rockets is a slowed down version of Faster Than a Speeding Bullet, the same song used in Meet the Scout.
  • The title card displays "COPYRIGHT LOLOLOL" on the bottom right corner, a recurring joke throughout the Meet the Team videos.
  • Throughout the Heavy's procedure, an X-ray of his body is in the background, showing a bomb lodged inside him. The extracted bomb can be spotted in a bucket behind the Medic. This is the same bomb on the Meet the Medic title card.
  • The Heavy's Minigun can be spotted in the background of a few operating room shots, resting on its own stretcher.
  • The Medic's Overdose is next to the bucket containing the extracted bomb.
  • A heart monitoring device titled "CARDIOSCAN 2000" can be seen working behind the Heavy early in the video. When his heart is destroyed, the line on the monitor goes flat. The next time it is seen, after the Medic retrieves a new heart, it resumes its old display (as if the machine detected the heart's presence).
  • One of the Medic's doves is named after Archimedes, a Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer.
  • A mysterious figure resembling Miss Pauling can be seen through the window at 0:56 and again at 1:22.
  • At 1:03, the entire contents of the fridge are visible: three hearts, the Sandvich, three bottles of Red Shed beer, the BLU Spy's head (alive), a battery for his head, and an ashtray for his cigarettes.
    • The labels on the hearts at 1:04 read "Loch Ness Hamster" and "Mega Baboon", respectively. The smallest heart appears to have no label on it.
  • Despite the Medic believing otherwise, human ribs are actually capable of growing back when properly shortened.[4]
  • At 1:48, Scout's Default Bat and a black bag can be seen on top of the closet in the background, at first glance, the two objects together look like the Battalion's Backup. Additionally, there's a sombrero next to it.
  • At 2:28, a Pyro can be seen running in its Humiliation pose, quickly disappearing into the black smoke on the right.
  • In the opening, when the Demoman is fleeing from the BLU Soldiers in a wheelchair, he has a bandage over the top part of his head and an eyepatch worn on top of the bandage. Later, when the Demoman is healed by the Medic, he rips off the bandage with the eyepatch on it to reveal another eyepatch underneath the bandage.
    • Similarly, when he is fleeing from the Soldiers in the first battlefield scene, his Stickybomb Launcher rests on his lap and is his only visible weapon. In the second battlefield scene, the Grenade Launcher replaced the Stickybomb Launcher, but after an explosion sends him flying out of his wheelchair, the weapon that lands in front of him is, mysteriously, the Stickybomb Launcher instead of the Grenade Launcher he was just holding.
  • In the up-close scene of the Demoman fleeing the Soldiers, the Engineer and Sniper are missing.
  • The Quick-Fix uses sounds from the Medi Gun.
  • Despite the Quick-Fix being incapable of providing invulnerability in-game, the Medic is able to use it to make the Heavy invulnerable via an ÜberCharge. The fourth day of the Über Update explains that the Quick-Fix's first ÜberCharge, seen in the video, permanently shorted out the invulnerability feature of the gun.
  • Although the Heavy was ÜberCharged, his Minigun doesn't glow in team colors as in the game.
  • After the Heavy kills the Soldiers onscreen and continues to fire at unseen enemies, the Medic poses as in the "Meet the Medic" taunt. A medi-beam is no longer connected to the Heavy, yet the Heavy continues to be ÜberCharged.
  • At 3:16, while the Heavy is ÜberCharged, a rocket hits him and explodes on contact. However, at 3:22 and 3:26, rockets are seen bouncing off the Heavy and exploding.
  • While the Heavy is hiding behind the truck, the army of Soldiers are wearing various hats such as the Soldier's Stash, Stainless Pot, Lumbricus Lid, and Proof of Purchase.
    • Also, when Heavy steps on top of the Soldier's head, the Soldier is seen wearing an Armored Authority, released on the same date as the Über Update.
  • In the final scene, the Engineer is strumming A Little Heart to Heart. Next to him is a Ciggy Stop vending machine, identical to the one in the Intelligence room in Meet the Spy.
  • In the waiting room, the Pyro is reading a magazine called "MAN MAN", which features the RED Spy and Scout on the cover and has The Insult That Made a "Jarate Master" Out of Sniper on the back cover. Pyro is also seen reading this same magazine in Expiration Date.
  • Since the June 17, 2011 Patch, a dove sometimes flies out of gibbed Scouts. This foreshadowed the final gag of the video, where Archimedes is left inside the Scout's chest after his operation.
  • It was revealed in the Source Filmmaker introduction video that the hospital battle scene is actually a modified version of Badwater Basin. The spawn that the Medic walks out of appears to be one of the exits in 5Gorge, while the rocky hillside seems to be inspired by DeGroot Keep (both were released December 2010).
  • In some leaked developer files of Source Filmmaker, some stills of an old version of Meet The Medic can be found featuring an injured Scout, Soldier, Demoman, and Heavy. However, their bandages and wounds were clearly edited in post.
    • Concept art from the final scene can be found in the files as well.
  • The Voodoo-Cursed Soul models of Scout, Demoman, Heavy, and Medic reflect the classes' injuries and blood stains portrayed in the video.

Outtakes

On July 11, 2011, the TF2 Team posted several outtakes from Meet the Medic on the TF2 Official Website, three of which depict the Medic speaking with an American accent and narrating his invention of the Medi Gun.[5]

Don't You Die On Me! My Darkest Moment
Kill Me Making Gods

Trivia

  • The hospital in one of the hidden images resembles the Pacific Tower close to Valve headquarters in Seattle, USA.
  • According to an article posted on the TF2 Official Website on July 11, 2011, Meet the Medic was originally intended to be an interview-style video, similar to the earlier Meet the Team videos. The video would have explained how the Medic accidentally discovered the healing formula used for his Medi Gun and its ability to ÜberCharge. It was scrapped because the animators thought that it didn't really reflect what people truly thought of when they hear "the Medic".
    • Robin Atkin Downes, the Medic's voice actor, uploaded a short snippet of himself recording the lines for this Meet the Team short, as well as a redubbed version of the outtakes with the Medic's voice.
    • In the second outtake (My Darkest Moment), the Spy, who shoots the blood bag and is then decapitated and used as a blood resource, appears to be on the same team as the Medic (RED). However, the mask on his head can be seen to change color to blue once it is separated from his body, indicating that he was the disguised BLU Spy.
    • In the outtake Kill Me, the Medic shoots more than 6 bullets with the Revolver.
      • It can also be noted that the healing formula created in the outtake is made of Jarate, a Sandvich, a small Medkit, and blood while being charged with electricity from broken equipment.
  • On June 20, 2013, a level was added to Surgeon Simulator 2013 that allows the player to perform the operation depicted in the video as the Medic on the Heavy. The various tools found in the game are also replaced with TF2 weapons, such as the Knife and Bonesaw.
    • The achievements awarded for completing different tasks in the level are named after quotes from Meet the Medic, such as "Don't Be Such A Baby, Ribs Grow Back!" and "Let's Go Practice Medicine."
