Operations for a Medic can differ depending on the amount of casualties taken. Sometimes you're extremely busy and are bouncing between fireteams; other times your squad takes no injuries and you're another gun. You have a wider view of the battle field because you're listening to higher comms nets and your back form the action just a tad.


Your primary job during a firefight is to not get hit. It's a good idea to keep an eye on the flanks and rear of your squad as people tend to get tunnel vision during firefights. Saying that, you can always join in on the firing down range as long as your not in danger.

According to the current animations, we actually inject ourselves with drugs and the other guys kinda just have to walk it off  :P
