In Real Life war, medics are supposed to be special: The Laws and Customs of War, specifically the Geneva Convention, dictate that medical personnel are non-combatants and shooting one is a serious war crime. So is impersonating one so that the enemy won't shoot you. And it's just as illegal for a medic to shoot at you — while they have weapons to defend themselves with, the moment they initiate combat, they are classed as combatants and can be freely shot at in response. And it is just as much a war crime to fake being a medic for the purposes of initiating violence. For tactical reasons, there's no real point in shooting at medics either (well, except psychological reasons); in combat, a downed soldier usually remains down for the current battle (with medical treatment and recovery occurring slowly over the days, weeks, and even months that follow — and there's no guarantee that a wounded soldier will even be able to return to combat after recovery is over), and medics are also trained to treat the enemy as well as their own comrades if at all possible, provided that they aren't presenting a threat. And they can only assist one soldier at a time anyway. In fact, you usually want to leave medics well alone since retrieving a fallen comrade usually requires the help of an additional person, so this puts at least one other potential enemy out of action, making the fight easier — to say nothing of the fact that, even after they're rescued, wounded soldiers laid up in hospitals drain resources and money, making it useful on a strategic level, too.note Of course, The Medic, and the feeling that the medic will be there to save you if something happens, is a big plus to morale. But morale isn't what's shooting at you right now. But if you're in a Video Game, you can forget all about that, because video game medics are magical. And we don't just mean the White Mages. Unlike Real Life, a video game medic will magically heal critically wounded soldiers back to full combat effectiveness in a matter of seconds — and in many cases, reviving soldiers Back from the Dead isn't too much more difficult. This makes an enemy healer a primary target, because when left alone, they will ultimately start reviving and healing your enemies almost as fast as you can take them out; enemies accompanied by healers effectively become Nigh-Invulnerable so long as the healer is present, so if you want to have any hope of winning, you must Shoot the Medic First. Just be prepared for an occasional Roaring Rampage of Revenge from the medic's True Companions, or that the boss may spontaneously Turn Red when he learns his healer has been taken out. Having an ally who can Draw Aggro is a useful way to defy this, and this tactic forms the core of the Damager, Healer, Tank setup common to MMOs. When medics won't put up with getting attacked first and actually start fighting back, they become a Combat Medic. Straight for the Commander is the same idea, but applied to the commander instead of medics. See also Shoot the Mage First. |

In Akudama Drive, Doctor is capable of immediately putting her allies back in fighting shape through a mix of combat drugs and instant surgery (she is also a Deadly Doctor who knows how to fight). By the third fight Master has started to catch on to this and bisects her early on in the fight, but even then he fails to take out her head and as such she fixes herself and ensures the Executioner fails again. | |

In Bleach, the Vandenreich member Mask De Masculine has the Sobriquet "The Superstar", which means he Hulks Out, becoming much stronger and healing from all damage, when he's cheered and applauded. His Sidekick named "James" has to be taken out first for this very reason, although that information came too late for five shinigami opponents. Unfortunately for the heroes, this is easier said than done, as James can regenerate from almost anything, even being chopped to pieces or burned to ashes, as long as Mask is still alive. | |

In Flags of Our Fathers, during the build up to the Battle of Iwo Jima, the Navy Corpsman is told: "when we land, try not to wave this kit around too much. They got sharpshooters that are trained to look for them. And they know that if they take out a corpsman, another dozen Marines will die unattended." | |

Naruto: Naruto's battle with Pain is complicated by the fact that one of his six bodies can revive the others. After seeing the previously-defeated Energy Absorption body back in action, this trope comes into play. Tsunade's abilities were developed with this trope in mind: give the medics absolutely lethal close-combat abilities and enemies won't target them for their vulnerability, and give them training in evasion so they can also avoid attacks. Indeed, when training Sakura, she drills into the younger girl's head that a medic nin's most important ability is not their ability to heal but their ability to dodge. Madara announces that he will target Tsunade first when fighting all the five kages. This is a subversion though, as his reasons for targeting her first have nothing to do with her status as The Medic and he sneers at the idea that her medical skills are of concern to him. He actually attacks her first out of spite for her grandfather. |

Played straight in The Pacific when a wounded Japanese soldier detonates a hand grenade, killing himself and two medics trying to help him. Given Japanese honor codes of the time, it was probably more about committing "honorable" suicide, rather than suffer the indignity of being taken captive, and not about the medics themselves. | |

AT-43: Pretty much the main tactic for snipers, as medics can bring anyone back form the dead regardless of what shot them. (Also officers, but that's for other reasons, namely the fact that without officers your army cannot be used.) Lampshaded in the game's fluff: one of the UNA's leaders was forced to ride in a mech after almost dying twice in a week from sniper fire, namely sniper fire coming from tanks. | |

The Order of the Stick: Played with early on, when a monster tries to attack two characters... who were both clerics. They end up winning by attrition by healing each other until the monster gets bored and leaves. A notable aversion during the second battle between Miko Miyazaki and the Order — while the comic itself skipped straight to the Order's defeat, Rich Burlew outlined one way the battle could've gone to prove it wasn't just a Diabolus ex Machina, and in this outline, Miko does not attack Durkon because he only provides healing to his other party members and does not attack her. In this case, she actually does follow so-called rules of war because Durkon is acting strictly in the capacity of being a traditional medic. |

More often than not, Princess Amelia from Slayers usually winds up as the first target when the main party faces a major foe (if not her, heavy-hitting magic user Lina is the first target). Amelia is a monk variant of a Magic Knight, but when Sylphiel, who is more this trope (and downright horrible with offensive magic), is not with them, she serves as the group's healer. | |

Pathfinder attempted to rectify this problem by making clerics and their buffs less potent as a means to kill the enemy while giving clerics the power to heal multiple party members in a single round several times a day — without using their spell slots. This allows clerics to heal a larger total number of hit points across the party and makes it more advantageous to heal during combat, thus making it more tactical to take out the cleric first. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: The rule is generally "Shoot the Mage First" rather than this trope because clerics are not as juicy a target. Unlike wizards, which are squishy, clerics generally have solid armor class and hit points as well as specialize in defensive magic, making them tougher to take down quickly. It's also often not particularly tactical, because clerics can't heal as fast as most other classes can dish out damage, so a cleric spending the whole combat healing is generally already fighting a losing battle. | |

In the season 6 episode "Twice As Far" of The Walking Dead this happens by accident when Dwight accidentally shoots an arrow through Denise's eye from behind when he was aiming for Daryl. Despite it being an accident, it leaves Alexandria at a drive disadvantage because Denise was their only medic, and to later to treat a pregnant Maggie they are forced to head for the Hilltop community. Plus, it's not good to not have anyone with medical experience when going to war with a community of over a hundred people like the Saviors. | |

The Klingons and Jem'Hadar in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine don't exactly target medics first, but they have no qualms about killing them. This leads to a number of scenes where Starfleet doctors and medics are firing phasers and beating up people. Grimly lampshaded by Doctor Bashir in a seventh-season episode; a seasoned soldier comments on his proficiency with a phaser, and Bashir responds that he's had to use one far too many times, which he considered ironic since he joined Starfleet to heal people. | |

M*A*S*H: The protection afforded to medics also extends to hospitals, thus the 4077th is almost never targeted directly throughout the series. The few times it is, it's mentioned. Notably, during the series finale, a runaway tank rolls into camp and has to be left there until a unit can come pick it up. A weapon that big does trump the hospital protection, and the North Koreans start shelling the camp. Klinger covers it with a tent, but it doesn't fool the North Koreans for long because they haven't seen or heard the tank leave. Eventually, Hawkeye drives it into the camp garbage dump, far enough away from the hospital so that any further shelling won't put the doctors and patients at risk. In one episode, an incompetent North Korean bomber pilot nicknamed "5 O'Clock Charlie" flies over the camp every day, trying to hit its ammo dump with a hand-thrown bomb while the staff members bet among themselves as to how badly he'll miss it. Burns, annoyed at Charlie's persistence, sets up an anti-aircraft gun to try and shoot him down. However, due to his inexperience, Burns accidentally destroys the ammo dump instead. Thinking that he finally hit his mark, Charlie flies away and never returns. 5 O'clock Charlie in fact may not have been a pilot for the North Korean air force, but instead a local with an ancient plane and home-made bombs. Once the U.S. gained control of the sky the main bomber used by N.K. (and possibly Russian) pilots was the PO-2 bomber, an ancient wood and canvas biplane that was so slow most U.S. planes zoomed past it (so fast they couldn't pull a shot before overshooting it) The episode "C*A*V*E" features the camp having to bug out due to shelling from their own side. It was a paper work mix-up and since they were unable to find the proper codes to prove they were who they said they were they couldn't convince anyone that they were a) a US unit or b) a medical unit. Yet another episode had the camp attacked by a sniper, who fired on their attempt at waving a white flag (a serious violation of the Geneva Convention). Eventually, the sniper was shot by a helicopter pilot, and when Hawkeye found and treated his wound, it turned out he was just a confused North Korean recruit who thought the 4077th was General MacArthur's base. |

In One Piece, Brook's original crew, the Rumbar Pirates, perished after being fatally poisoned because their doctor was killed during the battle. It's fair to note Ridiculously Cute Critter (and doctor) Chopper is usually the first crew mate to be taken out leaving the crew without medical care. When Chopper is cut down in the Skypiea arc Master Swordsmen, Zoro lets out some Tranquil Fury on the guy who did it. In the long battle at Dressrosa, little dwarf princess Mansherry (more like a fairy) has Swiss-Army Tears which the villains plan to uses on their fallen comrades. While the heroes target Mansherry, they rescue her instead of hurting her, somewhat inverting this trope. |

In Fire & Blood, a mystery illness claims several lives on Dragonstone, with its first victim being the island fortress's elderly Maester. When the death toll continues rising, one of King Jaehaerys's courtiers realises the deaths are not from a disease, but the work of a Serial Killer using poison, and concludes the maester was the first to die because the killer knew he was the only one who could identify the poison being used. | |

This is a constant occupational hazard for Annie Belnades in the roleplays of White Dark Life. (Luckily for her, she's Made of Iron, quite capable of defending herself, and generally has lots of backup.) It happens to Matt, too, but he shrugs it off (assuming that he doesn't leave his attacker unconscious). | |

Dungeons in The Fallen World will often target the healer first to reduce the survivability of the party. The fact that the golems not only didn't but instead when easy on the crippled healer further backed up Allya's theory on the true nature of the local dungeon. The healer in question had lost an arm defending the will of the dungeon when she was still human. Guilt and gratitude made her give the healer aid. | |

Magic: The Gathering: Most healing is either attached to creatures as an incidental ability or coming from players in the form of spells. What this means is experienced players will typically zero in on any dedicated healing creatures, as they are most likely in the deck for a specific reason that will lead to problems later (or at least lead to Why Won't You Die? if the healing can keep up with damage output) | |

Adventurers!: There's a short sequence in the webcomic where a villain recommends this strategy, but the other villain scoffs it off because "the other guy does more damage" or the like. Later in the story the Final Boss thinks he's invincible because his "Bytes" (weird spellcasting turnip-things) keep reviving him whenever he gets beat up. That the heroes would realize they just need to destroy the Bytes first apparently hadn't occurred to him. |

Saving Private Ryan: In a notable scene at the beginning, a medic is trying to stabilize a fallen soldier on Omaha Beach, seemingly without concern for the sheer number of bullets flying around. After he stabilizes the soldier, he makes the mistake of getting too excited, at which point a bullet goes right through the wounded soldier's helmet, killing him instantly. The medic gets very upset. That same medic later kinda-sorta takes part in combat by making an unarmed distraction run towards a machine gun nest and gets shot and killed. His squad gets very upset. Later in the film, Technician Irwin Wade is purposely shot by a Nazi machine-gunner because of his medical position in the squad. It's particularly horrific because Wade knows exactly how fatal his wound is and asks the team to Mercy Kill him with an overdose of morphine that will deliver a quick, painless death. |

Warhammer 40,000: Medic type models that are often part of units and can prevent a lot of deaths. If the rules weren't preventing most existing units from picking out certain models of a unit, these would die first. In fact a few units, like the Vindicare Assassin and Eldar Farseers with the Mind War power are able to pick out enemy models from units. In these cases the "medics" are the first to die. Examples of medics in Warhammer 40,000 are Ork Pain Boyz, Space Marine Apothecaries and Imperial Guard Medics (or more precisely Veterans with medi-packs). Inverted when fighting Grey Knights. See, the medics we described above can't save allies from One-Hit Kill attacks. A Grey Knight Paladin will normally die in two hits and has such strong armor that those hits rarely deal actual damage; as a result, most players will stack what few One-Hit Kill attacks they have onto any Paladin in sight, thus giving the Apothecary no chance to save him. Said Apothecary becomes Awesome, but Impractical, and thus a low-priority target, in a codex otherwise considered a Game-Breaker. This was part of the reason why Blood Angels were considered OP during 5th edition; unlike other chapters they can field their Apothecaries (called Sanguinary Priests) as independent characters. This means they can add the apothecary to any infantry squad rather than be just limited to the Command Squad. In addition, they can field multiple priests per elite slot, effectively allowing them to grant a priest for every squad if they're willing to pay the points. As Feel No Pain (the rule granted by all medics at the time) was considerably stronger during 5th edition, this made Blood Angel armies ridiculously durable and fast. |

Shadowrun: One of the common bits of street wisdom is "Geek the mage/shaman first." Not just because of the healing, but because an angry mage can dish out more hurt than most firearms. Hurt that ignores most conventional forms of armor, if they use mana-damage rather than physical-damage spells. The resident roving medics of DocWagon can rescue party members who have been dropped, but because they're heavily armed and cannot heal party members so quickly that they can rejoin the fight, it's generally a bad idea to start shooting at them. |

He immediately asks why he was assigned to that particular squad if he's not a medic-nin, to which Shizune replies that his role is to protect his teammates while they perform their medical duties on the battlefield so this trope doesn't occur. | |

In Drowtales, the Sharen, who are being badly beaten in their war against the Sarghress, are getting more and more desperate as the war drags on and they lose more and more ground. They are beginning to use more dirty and underhanded methods in an attempt to gain as much an advantage as possible. One of their favourite ones is to open a gate to the demon realm, unleashing demons capable of killing and taking over any drow in the area. To counter these gates, the Sarghress employ sealers, whose job it is to locate these gates, close them, and then seal all the demons in the area. To counter these, the Sharen set up snipers and traps to kill the Sealers fast and first. | |

Invoked in Dino Attack RPG. Though there were only two medics actually Killed Off for Real over the course of the RPG (out of a total of fifteen characters with medical skills), it was made clear that the main antagonist, Baron Typhonus had no problem targeting them. However, neither was killed specifically because they were a medic. J.D. was killed because he had started to find a possible cure to the Maelstrom, while Deitrich "Medic" Luzwheit was killed because he came close to identifying The Mole. Part of the reason for the low casualties may simply be that only four of the medics (Wade, Zenna, Martinet, and... well... Medic) actually work in the field. The rest of them tend to work off the battlefield. In the alternate ending December 21, 2010 it's mentioned briefly that all the medics are dead, with explicit references to several major characters including fan favorites Pierce and Zenna, and it has been suggested that this was a deliberate strategy by the Maelstrom. There was one scene, though it was never written due to unexpected character developments, which would have seen Pierce angrily threaten Rotor only to accidentally stab Crusher with a scalpel when she and Wade tried to restrain him. |

In Dragon Ball Z, during the battle against Freeza, the fighters exploit Dende's healing ability by having him covertly heal an injured fighter. So what does Frieza do when he first spots this while transforming into his final form? He promptly kills the little Namekian. It works to his advantage too, because Gohan and Vegeta, being Saiyans, receive a power-up after recovering from serious injuries (an ability referred to as zenkai by fans). Them acting as a tag team could convert the battle into one of attrition: one gets beat up and then the other keeps Frieza busy while Dende heals the downed Saiyan to boost them, and then they switch. Repeat until it makes one or both of them stronger than Freeza. | |

He does, but the only medical attention Gorkon can receive is from Dr. McCoy, who has no experience treating Klingons and is rather drunk from the state dinner earlier. Gorkon dies, and McCoy is charged with what we'd essentially consider manslaughter. | |
