Funny thing about adventure; people tend to get hurt, especially the heroes. Injuries are terribly inconvenient for questing, resulting in time lost recuperating (or making an out-of-the-way trip to the nearest Trauma Inn) at best, and a Total Party Kill at worst. So it's wonderfully convenient to have someone in the party who can make the hurting stop. Enter the Medic. In modern or futuristic settings, the Medic is often a trained physician or EMT (emergency medical technician) and relies on whatever medical technology is available in that era and on-hand—anything from miraculous herbs, injections and bandages to Nanomachines. In fantasy settings, the Medic is often a cleric or Mysterious Waif of some kind, using the powers of a White Mage or White Magic to restore people with Healing Hands (or something similarly glowy). They may also wield the Healing Shiv. Even the Standard Scifi Fleet might have Medics, in the form of tenders or repair ships. Often caring and concerned, Medics tend to be The Heart. Alternatively, they're less personable than rational, and they are thus a Smart Guy, even if The Team already has a Smart Guy. Regardless, team Medics will inevitably become the Team Mom — they simply leave the team if they can't. Regardless, everyone must obey the Doctor's Orders. Medics are typically Squishy Wizards, possessing little in the way of raw strength or offensive combat ability. In most real-life cases, this is more specifically because they are forbidden to carry assault weapons or engage in combat, even though all soldiers get the same basic training, regardless of role. If guns are standard, they'll usually have the smallest and weakest possible. In fantasy settings, they don't usually wear any armor, and tend to use staves as often as hammers or maces. They don't always get the flashiest abilities and their skillset tends towards Boring, but Practical, although they will occasionally pick up a few offensive spells. Holy Hand Grenade is popular among the rare Medics who fight. Expect the Medic to be an Actual Pacifist and hold to Thou Shalt Not Kill (except, possibly, Mercy Killing), although he may not stick to it when he is literally the only person who can attack—especially not if the villain is willing to attack him or worse, the wounded. In Real Life, this is required; medical personnel are non-combatants, and so are protected under The Laws and Customs of War, but forbidden to fight themselves lest they forfeit this protection.note Medical personnel are allowed to defend themselves or their patients, but cannot initiate offensive action. See Article 22 of the Geneva Conventions. If there's only one team member capable of healing, that person is automatically the Medic, even if they have other abilities, even if healing is their least proficient ability. If multiple teammates can heal, then the Medic is the one who is either the best at it or takes it most seriously. Even if the Medic should have awesome attack magic, or have the fortitude to handle melee combat, his role as healer, supporter, and protector is his top priority. Be wary of pissing off the Medic on your side—you do not want to be in the situation where they decide that actually they don't feel like healing you right now because of something you said earlier. Hence the many variations on the phrase of "Never mess with the White Mage" in the communities of any multiplayer game, from tabletop RPGs to shooters, that have this class. If this does happen, it can cross into Laser-Guided Karma or even Death by Irony. A subtrope of Support Party Member. See the The Squad and the Command Roster for Ensembles likely to have a team Medic. In particularly large or specialized teams, it is not uncommon for the Medic to do almost nothing except heal the Stone Wall—in which case they are that fighter's "backpack" (this is standard practice for groups in World of Warcraft). A backpack may also occur when one member has a specialized healing ability and another requires that specialized healing (typically robot/techie, The Undead/necromancer, or an inverted Revive Kills Zombie situation). A Medic who specializes in healing and support magic (sometimes with a dash of attack magic) is known as a White Mage. White Magician Girl is a specific type of White Mage that occurs with faithful regularity in videogame RPGs. Also in video games, when the enemy has one, Shoot the Medic First. The Combat Medic is a variant that can heal and support while beating down the enemies, and a medic who specializes in both healing and defense is often a Barrier Warrior. The Deadly Doctor has gone rogue and decided to use those same healing abilities to take people apart. Compare After-Action Patch-Up, After-Action Healing Drama. |

In Twig, Lillian functions as the onsite healer and first aid provider for the Lambs. For anything more extensive than field biotech, though, she's quick to send her patients back to the Academy. She is still a doctor-in-training, after all. Later on, Duncan's addition to the team provides the Lambs with another medic. | |

In the Heralds of Valdemar books, Healers (who may or may not have Healing Hands) take the Medic role, though they seldom go out with a party; they are more likely to set up shop in one location and serve a particular area. In Arrow's Flight, Talia and Rolan have to gallop for several hours to get a Healer to aid a plague-stricken village, which she handles like someone who has done this many times before. | |

Bleach: Orihime Inoue may have the power to make people's heads explode, but it often fails for the simple fact that she doesn't want to make heads explode and her targets are too strong for halfhearted attacks. On the other hand, she also has the power to protect and heal; since she prefers very much to do that, her considerable powers operate at full strength in that department. She is also the strongest healer in the series, as her healing attacks don't actually heal wounds, they make it so they never happened in the first place. The Fourth Court Guard squad, led by Captain Retsu Unohana and lieutenant Isane Kotetsu, is the healing squad. They tend to get picked on by other Court Guard squads because they heal instead of fighting. However, one menacing look from the otherwise polite and gentle Unohana is enough to stop them. 7th Seat Hanataro Yamada healing specialization goes so far, that his Zanpakuto is actually a Healing Shiv. Unfortunately, he's also the Butt-Monkey, which means he frequently misplaces his sword, when it's actually pretty powerful (heal enough wounds with it, and it can return the damage healed in a massive attack). |

RuneQuest: Healing is accomplished by the Harmony rune, though similar effects can also come from the Life and Earth runes. Chalana Arroy is the local Healer God, venerated in most human pantheons, and doesn't take sides in battle, instead healing anyone and everyone. Her initiates follow her example, shunning violence in all its forms and aiding allies with strong healing magic. | |

A Certain Magical Index has the Heaven Canceler, who's almost always only referred to as the Frog Faced Doctor. He can heal any injury, even mortal ones. The only thing he can't do is cure brain damage and he's still better at that than normal brain surgeons. It does seem as though he needs proper medical equipment to work, however. | |

Hawkes from CSI: NY, who was an ER doc before he became a coroner and ultimately a CSI, works in a clinic on his days off and sometimes serves on the team of bicycle medics in Central Park as well. In one episode, Mac asks him to stay outside while he and the other officers chase a heavily armed gang into a building because he expects casualties needing immediate medical attention. Sheldon replies, "Then this is where I'll be." In another, he tends to Sid before the ambulance arrives when the M.E. is exposed to radiation. | |

Gregory Deegan of Dominic Deegan ought to count. Notable in that he's become one of the top-tier mages of the series since his White Magic makes him near unkillable and gives him a power boost against Infernomancers and Necromancers. Too bad he seems to have lost his white magic for good in a recent arc. |

Psyren: Three characters have been shown to use healing, all ironically being male. Oboro Mochizuki is technically the team healer and contrasts with the normal personality associated with the job. He switches between being extremely childish and mature, and it has been hinted at him becoming somewhat sinister. In fact, he ended up using his healing abilities to convert a Tavoo into a tumorous state, saying that he was trying to see if he could fix it to save the numerous composite bodies it was made up of when he really only wanted to test his abilities. Also, his powers work best through hugging. The other two are Van, who plays this role for the Elmore kids (and is probably the strongest of all the healers), and Ian, who is The Mentor to both Van and later Kabuto, who uses Ian's unique Sense ability. |

Gets lots of attention because he will never intentionally hurt someone, but is a master of a martial art that will redirect energy. A charging enemy will find himself fifteen feet away, out of breath, wondering what the heck threw him. There was also, in the original comics and some alternate universes, Doc, who was noted for his calm under fire, described as coming to you in the middle of a firefight "like he was a making a house call". | |

Trapped on Draconica: Two, one for each side: The heroes have Erowin: a sweet-tempered girl with healing hands. The villains have Lucia: a somewhat cranky dwarf who carries poison for "medicinal" purposes. Though effective in curing even life-threatening wounds, this medicine is worse than the disease. |

Captain Planet and the Planeteers: Ma-Ti is one of the only members of the team to show any experience with taking care of the sick and injured (Gi also demonstrates these capabilities sometimes). It helps that his grandfather taught him enough about plants that he can put together medicines and poultices when necessary. | |

Clarke Griffin of The 100 has enough medical knowledge to treat whatever wounds and injuries befall the Delinquents after they get sent to Earth and are targeted by the Grounders. In season 2, she also kept Lincoln alive while he was going through detox from the drug that turned him into a Reaper. Returning him to a normal state was part of the reason she secured an alliance with the Grounders. She serves as a Combat Medic given the dangerous environments and conflicts they often find themselves in. She takes after her mother, who's also a doctor. | |

Medea too was a healer (with most of her magic being somehow connected to this), and one completely unconnected to Apollo, for a change. Some of her feats are: preventing Jason from being roasted by giant fire-breathing bulls made of bronze with a fireproof unguent; healing Atalanta when she was wounded by the Colchians; seeing that her father-in-law Aeson was too old and weak to take part in the celebrations for the Argonauts' triumphal return, she withdrew the blood from his veins, mixed it with a magical herb and put it back, restoring his vigor; when the Corinthians were starving from a famine, she saved them through her magic; and proved to be able to raise the dead by boiling the pieces of their bodies with some magical herbs (she only demonstrated this with a chicken, though). She also proves why pissing off a medic is a bad idea: when Jason's uncle Pelias refused to yield the throne of Iolcus as promised, she demonstrated the ability to raise the dead to convince Pelias' daughters to cut him to pieces (she could have easily killed him with a number of other means, but was feeling sadistic); when Jason abandoned her for the daughter of the king of Corinth, she gave the daughter a dress and a golden coronet covered in a poison that set her on fire, a fire that also killed the king and burned down the royal palace when he tried to save her. | |

The Discworld's Ankh-Morpork City Watch has The Igor as a medic, as do the Ins-And-Outs in Monstrous Regiment. They are almost eerily good at this — in particular, they can re-attach lost limbs and perform transplants using only needle and thread, and also possess the ability to completely suppress the patient's immune system incompatibility with the donor organ through means unexplained. They also have the ability to bring back people who have actually died, if it's recent enough (and if they're allowed to — dwarves in particular will not allow Igors to bring them back. Igors are said to be "naturally disappointed" by this). As of Unseen Academicals, Lord Vetinari has been compelled to make a law about this, because murder trials have a tendency to go wrong when the (formerly) deceased walks through the door: "If it takes an Igor to bring you back, you were dead. Briefly dead, it's true, which is why the murderer will be briefly hanged." |

Thirteen Lives is a dramatisation of a real-world rescue operation, the 2018 rescue of a group of youths trapped in the Tham Luang cave, so naturally the professional teams involved have medical support. When some of the Thai SEAL team remain with the boys while people determine how to bring them out, one of the group is a doctor who can monitor the kids' health. Later, the British divers call in the Australian "Harry" Harris, a fellow cave diver but also a doctor — in this case, because their desperate rescue plan needs his specific skills as an anaesthetist. |

In Galaxy Angel, Vanilla H was the team healer and youngest member of the all-female fighter-pilot group, but she was one of the smarter members and an Emotionless Girl. She healed people and repaired fighter-craft with Nanomachines. Probably because everyone's older and she's so young, she's not a Team Mom. Galaxy Angel II replaces her with Nano-Nano Pudding, also the youngest of her group (she's actually one, being an Artificial Human made of the aforementioned nanomachines). Unlike Vanilla's fragile ship, Harvester, Nano-Nano could actually fight decently in First Aider, although you'd still want to keep her in healing mode. |

Tolkien's Legendarium: In J. R. R. Tolkien's stories there are lots of characters with healing abilities (some conventionally mundane, some a bit magical) of various races, some having it as their 'main job' while others do it just as it comes up. Most well-known healer is probably Elrond. In The Lord of the Rings, Aragorn is a sword-and-archery ranger and warrior, but perhaps the only member of the Fellowship of the Ring with medical knowledge. Athelas is used only for exposure to the deadly "Black Breath" Nazgûl. Aragorn was raised in Rivendell by Elrond, the greatest healer in all Middle-Earth, and was second only to Elrond in medicine. Aragorn cures Frodo's and Sam's wounds in Moria; and After the Battle of the Pelennor, Aragorn tends to all the wounded and heals them, regardless of the severity of their wounds. Finally, Sam and Frodo are so bad-off at the end of the adventure, that they lay comatose for two weeks after Aragorn tends to them; but they are fully healed by Aragorn (in body, at least, while Frodo's cure can be found only in Valinor). Pippin is likewise fully healed, despite being crushed by a troll. (Aragorn's skills seem limited to physical ailments, however, as Éowyn suffers from a melancholy that he admits is beyond his skill, and which deeply troubled him even while facing unspeakable peril. That emotional damage is actually healed by Faramir, whom Éowyn befriends and later falls in love with). Unlike most healers in fantasy fiction, Aragorn completely lacks the typical characteristics of a White Mage, and is a full-on Combat Medic more known for the "combat" part than for the "medic". |

But being a dwarven cleric of Thor, he's sporting metal armor, a shield, a hammer, and the ability to occasionally throw lightning bolts or grow to gigantic size for emergency muscle. Or, have 2 clerics and make monsters give up out of impatience. Malack and Durkon quickly bond over the life of the adventuring cleric, and its Boring, but Practical manner when the others never stop getting themselves hurt. |

Exalted generally averts this - while the eponymous Exalted have various methods of speeding up others' recovery, it is still a matter of hours or days rather than weeks or months. About the only way to provide mid-combat healing for others is the Wood Dragon Celestial martial art. Until the 2.5 Errata, which boosted the Solar healing charm Wound-Mending Care Technique; combined with Instant Treatment Methodology and Solar dice pools, it's a very effective - if expensive - "quick fix". |

In the Pokémon Adventures manga: Yellow is blessed by the Viridian Forest, meaning that she has the magical power to instantly heal Pokémon with a single touch. While this (and her other Viridian blessed powers) makes up for her sub-par battling skills, overusing it will cause her mental strain, forcing her to fall asleep. Moon from the Sun/Moon chapters too. She is a pharmacist and has workable first-aid and other general medical knowledge. Unlike Yellow who uses psychic power, Moon’s healing power is 100% science-based. |

They are almost eerily good at this — in particular, they can re-attach lost limbs and perform transplants using only needle and thread, and also possess the ability to completely suppress the patient's immune system incompatibility with the donor organ through means unexplained. They also have the ability to bring back people who have actually died, if it's recent enough (and if they're allowed to — dwarves in particular will not allow Igors to bring them back. Igors are said to be "naturally disappointed" by this). As of Unseen Academicals, Lord Vetinari has been compelled to make a law about this, because murder trials have a tendency to go wrong when the (formerly) deceased walks through the door: "If it takes an Igor to bring you back, you were dead. Briefly dead, it's true, which is why the murderer will be briefly hanged." | |

Pathfinder has the traditional divine casters from Dungeons & Dragons and adds the oracle to the mix. Roughly, the oracle is to the cleric what the sorcerer is to the wizard: a spontaneous caster using the same spell list and with different class features. The mystery of life makes the oracle a great team medic, vastly improving healing spells and giving new healing powers. Bastion archons aren't active fighters — barring a balor's appearance, they never move from their spots — but have numerous options for bolstering and healing their allies and companions. On top of passively healing any good-aligned creatures within sixty feet of their location — including themselves — they can cast most of the classic cleric healing spells, both on an individual basis and on multiple people at once, and can regenerate others' lost limbs. The popular third-party Psionics system includes the Vitalist, a squishy class which is designed around healing very efficiently. Unlike classes like the Cleric (see above) it doesn't have any other abilities to speak of, but also unlike the cleric its healing is very much worth using during battle. It's one of the few ways to actually play an effective healer (the other two well-known ones being to play an oracle of life, or to use the life sphere from Spheres of Power. Starfinder allows any class to be trained in Medicine. However, the three classes best suited to acting as a medic are a Mystic with the Healing Connection, an Envoy that chooses Expertise Talents and Improvisations based on the Medicine skill, and the Biohacker. |

Clerics are sometimes seen as mobile healing delivery units, though this can vary based on the edition and version: In third edition, clerics are not only the best healers, but they can be argued to be the most powerful all-around class in the game. However, they only access that power if they use their spells and actions for things other than healing, like buffing the party or summoning minions. This is because in third edition, healing spells are awkward to use (due to range limitations, and other factors) and only heal a mediocre amount of hp; generally speaking, a cleric using healing magic in battle is helping less than a fighter trying to kill the enemies, and has exposed themself to extra risk of attacks and spent a spell slot for the privilege. Healing out of combat can be done for a trivial gold cost using wands of Cure Light Wounds *or even more cheaply with wands of Lesser Vigour if the GM allows the right sourcebook, which are slow but can give an effectively limitless amount of healing once the group gets a decent amount of money. Thus the medic role is essentially unneeded in third edition unless the GM takes major steps to restrict access to magic items (which leads to its own balance issues). Many groups are OK with this since the medic role also tends to be rather dull and hence unpopular in third edition - it's sometimes derogatorily referred to as a "healbot". One sourcebook does offer a base class called a Healer. It's essentially the cleric, minus all the powerful buff spells that made it one of the most powerful classes in the game, without any offensive spells, without any armor proficiencies (in fact, explicitly unable to wear armor), and with a few more spells per day and some spell-like abilities. Fourth edition seems to remove the cleric as a necessary component to any adventuring party by making it easy for any player character to recover by just taking a five-minute break after combat and spending enough "healing surges." Even after running out of those, a good night's rest will restore a character to full hit points (and reset the healing surge count to maximum as well). Actual healing powers still come into play during combat encounters, though, and Leader classes are the best source. In all versions, clerics avert the "squishy" part of the trope. Up until 3.5, they're able to wear heavy armor like fighters, while in 4th and 5th editions they can still wear up to medium armor (and about half of 5th Edition cleric specializations gain heavy armor proficiency at first level). 5th Edition offers some interesting variations that allow Sorcerers and Warlocks to serve as The Medic via the Divine Soul Sorcerer and Celestial Warlock. While the Divine Soul just gets the ability to learn and cast healing spells, Celestial Warlocks get their own innate healing ability that works unlike any other healing power in the game, as well as the ability to grant a decent number of temporary hitpoints to their allies every time they finish a long or short rest. Neither is precisely as good at healing as a dedicated Cleric, but they do add some significant versatility. |

Eugene Roe and Ralph Spina from Band of Brothers are real-life examples of the trope. Both men cared very much for the men in their company. Gene was noted by Bill Guarnere as "the best medic we ever had. He was born to be a medic. He took care of us physically, mentally, every way. He was compassionate." Gene was even nominated for a Silver Star for bravery under fire (and received it after the war was over). Note that neither was the Team Mom though. | |

Batman: Bruce's butler Alfred Pennyworth is capable of providing first aid and has basic field medical skills from his military days. Pre-Crisis, if Batman was seriously injured in the field Dr. Douglas Dundee would be called in to administer the necessary treatment. Dr. Dundee was a close friend and medical associate of Bruce's father, Dr. Thomas Wayne. He remained a family friend even after Thomas and his wife Martha were murdered by Joe Chill. Dr. Dundee was trusted with Bruce's secret identity as Batman and agreed to be his personal physician in both identities. Post-Crisis, Leslie Thompkins was retconned into being a close friend and medical colleague of Thomas Wayne, who serves as a surrogate parent to his son Bruce after his parents are murdered, and later becomes a confidant in his crusade as Batman, and provides off-the-books medical treatment when required (which is often). |

In The Lord of the Rings, Aragorn is a sword-and-archery ranger and warrior, but perhaps the only member of the Fellowship of the Ring with medical knowledge. Athelas is used only for exposure to the deadly "Black Breath" Nazgûl. Aragorn was raised in Rivendell by Elrond, the greatest healer in all Middle-Earth, and was second only to Elrond in medicine. Aragorn cures Frodo's and Sam's wounds in Moria; and After the Battle of the Pelennor, Aragorn tends to all the wounded and heals them, regardless of the severity of their wounds. Finally, Sam and Frodo are so bad-off at the end of the adventure, that they lay comatose for two weeks after Aragorn tends to them; but they are fully healed by Aragorn (in body, at least, while Frodo's cure can be found only in Valinor). Pippin is likewise fully healed, despite being crushed by a troll. (Aragorn's skills seem limited to physical ailments, however, as Éowyn suffers from a melancholy that he admits is beyond his skill, and which deeply troubled him even while facing unspeakable peril. That emotional damage is actually healed by Faramir, whom Éowyn befriends and later falls in love with). Unlike most healers in fantasy fiction, Aragorn completely lacks the typical characteristics of a White Mage, and is a full-on Combat Medic more known for the "combat" part than for the "medic". | |

Every Star Trek series has a chief medical officer, who fills this role: Star Trek: Voyager: The EMH, who is referred to as "The Doctor," is a Dr. Jerk. Kes is trained by the EMH to work as a nurse, and she has Magical Girl abilities. Tom Paris had a few stints as well; the EMH was limited to the sickbay and the holodecks until a bit into the third season, and Tom was the only one on the ship with formal medical training, even if it was limited to a single course. Star Trek: Picard: Emil is the Emergency Medical Hologram on La Sirena, and he has been programmed to diagnose and treat a wide variety of injuries and ailments (including psychiatric ones). |

Monk, the SEAL Medic in The Abyss. Of all the SEALs that board Deep Core, he is the only one who seems inclined to deal with the rig crew as human beings. When faced with a medical situation he is not trained for (Jammer's coma) he does what little he can and apologises that he can't do more. Of course, since he has a religious name in a James Cameron film, his being a basically good guy was pretty much guaranteed from the get-go. | |

Yellowjackets: In terms of The Closest Thing We Got, this trope applies to two of the crash survivors on the 1996 timeline: Misty has taken the Babysitter's Red Cross training course (twice!). She ends up treating her fellow survivors' minor injuries and cauterizes an amputated leg. Akilah ends up stitching up a teammate's facial wounds. Later, they help another teammate when she gives birth. | |

At first glance, it's easy to mistake Tony Tony Chopper of One Piece as the Team Pet. Regardless of this, he's also one of the One Piece world's most talented doctors. Among other feats, he successfully healed two crew members who had been frozen solid, despite having never seen such a thing and having no idea what to do at first. He also adapted his medical knowledge to combat, twice giving advice that was instrumental in defeating the giant Living Shadow-powered zombie Oars. Trafalgar Law is an odd example in that he happens to be The Captain in addition to being The Medic. Of course, being a Deadly Doctor helps. Marco of the Whitebeard Pirates was the crew's medic. Using his phoenix powers to heal. After the crew disbanded, he became the healer for the village Whitebeard grew up in. He also used his skills to help the Straw Hats during the battle on Onigashima. |

(This leads to an... odd moment later on in the story.)

Warhammer 40,000: Some units have the option of taking a medic, which grants the entire unit Feel No Pain (50/50 chance (roll 4 or higher on d6) of ignoring any unsaved wound). This generally makes the unit absurdly tough. Kill Team: Several factions can bring along a medic of some description. They're most common in forces tied to the Imperial Guard. Space Marine Apothecaries are medical professionals with possibly centuries of experience, although since most of that is on genetically enhanced Super Soldiers it's probably best to have your civilians treated by someone who's a bit more used to people with only one heart. Medically trained Sisters Hospitaller are a common sight in the retinues of the Inquisition. Orks have access to Doks, who are medics in the same way that Mekboyz are engineers: it's not an inaccurate description, but it implies a degree of sanity, reason and caution that is totally foreign to the Orkish mind, and doubly so for the ones with Science-Related Memetic Disorder and a slightly terrifying degree of curiosity regarding the exact side effects of the chemical compound that he brewed up before the battle from Mork knows what. One of the few things in the galaxy that the average Ork genuinely fears is what a Dok might do to him when he goes under the knife. |

One of the Pillars of Equestria, Mage Meadowbrook, was an Earth pony alchemist famed for her medicinal work and for treating rare diseases and plagues. |

Mikey is this in the JAG episode "Each Of Us Angels". Of course that one is a medical drama and most of the characters are medical personnel. But the others are mostly nurses while "not Mikey" is a frontline Corpsman. | |

In Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games and still more in Catching Fire, Katniss's mother and Prim. (Unavailable in the arena, alas.) Although, Katniss herself could qualify, even though the process of healing someone tends to disgust her. Despite the fact that Katniss herself admits that she's much better at killing, she was able to keep Peeta alive in the arena (no small feat in itself) by cleaning his wounds and draining his pus. |

Doc Cottle from Battlestar Galactica. A chain-smoking Dr. Jerk, but he gets the job done. In a sea of Grey-and-Gray Morality, he was something of a fan favorite for his pragmatic perspective on his role: he's a doctor, he treats the sick and the injured, nothing else about his patients really matters. | |

Medicine cats in the Warrior Cats series are the sole medic in their Clan, aside from their apprentices. They're also more spiritual than other cats, as they receive prophecies from StarClan. Medicine cats are exempt from the usual barriers given to warriors and are allowed to visit other Clans as needed. They're also celibate and out-of-bounds during battles, and killing one is a great enough sin to land the offender in the Clan equivalent of Hell, a filthy, fungus-ridden Dark World of perpetual night and solitude. | |

Dino Attack RPG has over a dozen medical characters, each with their own unique personalities and skills. Dr. Alan Pierce: The head of the medical department, and with good reason. He's a brilliant, well-organized surgeon and all-around Nice Guy who does whatever is possible to help a patient in need. Dr. Gates Crusher: Also an Omni Disciplinary Scientist who helped synthesize antidotes to a toxic gase and later the Maelstrom. Dr. Giovanni Wade: Former army medic who works in the field, though true to this trope he never picked up a gun. Dr. Marco Martinet: A somewhat stubborn but dedicated surgeon who also works on the field but refrains from being involved directly in combat. Dr. Richard Copper: An elderly physician who provided assistance at Outpost 4 and later during the final battle. Dr. Noomi Shaw: A shy, insecure, mentally unstable, and semi-religious young doctor. Still a nice girl who genuinely cares for her patients and more than capable of performing surgery even if she has to say the occasional prayer. Dr. J.D.: Another Omnidisciplinary Scientist who developed a cure to the Maelstrom and got killed for it. Enter and Return: Twin paramedics with... controversial yet surprisingly effective methods (the use of sharks, trees, umbrellas, envelopes, and other strange things is considered standard procedure). Unfortunately, the bizarre nature of their operations generally results in most of the other doctors trying to have as little to do with them as possible. Dr. Clickitt: A doctor and surgeon who usually oversees Enter and Return's operations (being literally one of two doctors on the planet that actually approves of their methods). Dietrich "Medic" Luzwheit subverts certain elements of the character, being a talented but also morally questionable surgeon and Combat Medic (not surprising, given his inspiration) known for getting a bit too much pleasure out of his work and being more concerned about his business than about actually saving lives. There was also a minor doctor in the LEGO Island arc named Burns who subverted this archetype, spending most of his screen time being a complete Jerkass and nearly got Pierce arrested simply for choosing to help an agent over a member of Alpha Team. Atton Rand has admitted to having a talent for writing these kinds of characters, having written six out of the fifteen major doctors in the RPG (Zenna, Pierce, Wade, Crusher, Copper, and Shaw). |

Konoe Konoka in Negima! Magister Negi Magi increasingly fills this role as she becomes more experienced with healing magic. After a while, team members just don't bother restraining themselves during training, since all their injuries can be healed by her anyway. Unfortunately, this also makes her the team's biggest Achilles' Heel, as in a battle she is always targeted first. In one Mood Whiplash chapter, she manages to completely heal the protagonist after he took a stone spear to the chest, pulled it out to sucker-punch the villain who delivered it, collapsed, and bled on the floor for a minute, all until she got to him. | |

Simon Tam from Firefly is an accomplished trauma surgeon on the run, who parlays his medical knowledge into passage on the ship. Simon also fits the trope on being completely incompetent with guns, although he makes up for it with his proficiency with drugs and poisons, as Jayne found out when he tried to take over in "The Train Job" and later betrayed Simon and River in "War Stories". (In a later episode, Simon injects him with a paralytic.) He fits both the "personable" and the "rational" which makes him an ideal example of this trope. He's a pretty good tactician too, as was shown in "Ariel". | |

Stephen Maturin in the Aubrey-Maturin series—he's the ship's surgeon and a Badass Bookworm to boot, being incredibly skilled with both swords AND guns. Captain Aubrey and the rest of the crew have undying faith in his prowess, and the crewmen brag to other sailors about how their ship has a real physician who even speaks Latin. It's well-founded, as he was able to perform a successful evacuation of a subdural hematoma (bleeding into one's brain) aboard the ship during a battle, and with 19th-century technology, too! All the more notable since Maturin is a physician, not a surgeon. It was even more of an issue then as opposed to now since surgeons did not attend medical school and the overwhelming majority of physicians considered surgery a common craft beneath their professional station. For Maturin to know even the first thing about surgery, let alone undertake and succeed at half a dozen different procedures just in the first novel, is unusual in the extreme. It's even more unusual for there to be a physician in the position of a Navy surgeon at all, if one doesn't consider that Maturin mostly took the job because he was penniless at the time and Aubrey happened to befriend him. Physicians were usually drawn from the upper class and would consider a job at sea to be sacrilegious. At that time (c. 1800) there were only a dozen physicians compared to one thousand surgeons in the Royal Navy. |

5 from 9. He isn't so much a Squishy Wizard as simply a Non-Action Guy/Action Survivor, and his weapon for the few occasions he has to fight is a crossbow. It figures that he would be suited for the role, as he seems to embody the Scientist's caring, supporting side, and in the Russian version, in which the dolls aren't facets of the Scientist but people the Scientist knew, he actually was a professional medic. | |

Steven Franklin from Babylon 5 took Thou Shalt Not Kill to debatably unreasonable levels. In his younger years, he traveled the galaxy studying various alien biologies, being one of the few humans to meet and study a Minbari at the time. When the humans and the Minbari went to war, he destroyed his research rather than let the Earth military use it to develop more effective weapons against the Minbari, despite the fact that the Minbari were waging a war of extinction against the humans. Later on, he ends up sending thirty Shadow modified telepaths to their deaths to sabotage a fleet of enemy warships. Despite this violating his oath as a doctor, it meant that several thousand people were spared from death in battle as a result. |

The Decepticon Justice Division eventually picks up Nickel, who is at best A Lighter Shade of Black than the five Torture Technicians she looks after. Meanwhile, this is in theory Spinister's area of expertise among the Scavengers, but while he gets to use his skills on, say, the Roboids in "Some of my Best Friends are Autobots" / "Animals", he's mostly prevented from doing much for his teammates because he's completely insane and Crankcase would rather run around with a chunk of his brain poking out of his head than trust Spinister to fix it. | |

Transformers: Any incarnation of Ratchet. The Transformers: Generation 1 character was originally intended as female by Budiansky, but Hasbro didn't want any unsellable girl figures in their new line, so the idea was nixed. Ratchet's been the premiere medic and nursemaid for the Autobot cause for so long, he's one grumpy old 'bot. In the original series, he had an Odd Friendship with Wheeljack, fellow Smart Guy and Techno Wizard. They'd often collaborate on some project or another, but Wheeljack was so often blowing himself up with his personal experiments that Ratchet probably wanted to kill him as much as heal him. While Ratchet was the medic, he wasn't the only one. Pretty early in the series, he forms a friendship with the human Sparkplug, who even got a little staircase to help repair damaged Autobots. Season two of the G1 cartoon also had Hoist, though unlike Ratchet and most Autobot medics, he transforms into a tow truck instead of an ambulance.note Although considering he specialises in Cybertronian medicine, that probably makes more sense than a vehicle mode intended for helping humans. His bio seems to indicate that his job is more within preventative care rather than repairs, though the cartoon still shows him doing repairs. In the third season of G1, Ratchet was supplanted by First Aid, who was a strict pacifist but by no means a weak character. He was Defensor's arm, after all. In Transformers: Armada and Transformers: Cybertron, this role goes to Red Alert. Minerva fills this role in Transformers: Super-God Masterforce. Pipo gets this role in Transformers Victory; his name is even Japanese for nee-naw. His identical counterpart in the American media, Fixit, takes this role late in the original comic and even has the unenviable task of physically separating Ratchet from Megatron after they were TeleFragged together. The version for Transformers: Animated Ratchet keeps up the tradition. Transformers: Prime also has a grumpy old version of Ratchet. The Decepticons got their own medic in the form of Knock Out. The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye has the role of the Lost Light's medic rotate from Ratchet (who retires from the role to find the exiled Drift) to First Aid (who gets called back to Cybertron to help sell the new Defensor toy and doesn't get back until Getaway takes over the ship) to Velocity (an entirely new character invented for IDW 2005), then, when Velocity is thrown out with the rest of Team Rodimus by Getaway's mutiny, Getaway gives the job to Hoist aboard the ship and Ratchet rejoins the team to give them two medics.
