History PlayingWith / CombatMedic

'''Implied''': We never directly see Alice fighting, but for a medic, she appears to know a lot about weapons.

** [[MilitaryMashupMachine An army using a bomber that can drop medikits on allied lines, a battleship doubling as a naval hospital, and a tank that also serves as an ambulance]]. The last one is TruthInTelevision and called the Merkava Tankbulance, and is used by the Israeli army today.

* '''Exaggerated''': Alice is the best markswoman in the universe, while also being the top surgeon.

** The enemy [[ShootTheMedicFirst shot at her first]], and the Geneva Conventions do entitle combat medics to shoot in self-defense.

* '''Subverted''': Alice is given a shotgun. But she can't hit the broad side of the barn with it...

* '''Zig Zagged''': Alice has never held a weapon in her life. When her side seems to be losing the war, she is given a shotgun and sent into the heat of battle. But she can't hit anything. Then, she switches to an assault rifle, and kicks ass. Turns out, it wasn't Alice, but rather Aerith who disguised herself as Alice to [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething get into the]] [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking heat of battle]]. The real Alice is nowhere to be seen... Because she is [[OneManArmy singlehandedly]] invading the enemy bunker.

** Since nobody in this universe is enforcing [[{{Concerned}} subsection B of the resolution of the international Geneva conference of October, 1863]], [[TheMedic Alice]] has to know how to defend herself.

* '''Inverted''': [[TheBigGuy Bob]], the team's weapons specialist, knows how to patch wounds.

* '''Downplayed''': ???

* '''Deconstructed''': Since Alice obviously broke the Hippocratic oath by killing people, she is rejected by other doctors and her former patients alike.
* '''Reconstructed''': So she goes to the army. Since she can both heal and injure, she is a valuable team member and earns the respect of her squad.

* '''Enforced''': The game is a FPS, and if TheMedic had no battle abilities, they would be a very [[BoringButPractical boring]] [[CharacterClass class]] to play as.

* '''Defied''': "I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone."
* '''Discussed''': "But is our medic allowed to fight alongside us?" "Yes, if she doesn't mind losing her protection from Geneva conventions."
* '''Conversed''': "A medic destroyed our lines. They pack as much firepower as an assault class, but they also have self regeneration."

* '''Justified''': Since nobody in this universe is enforcing [[{{Concerned}} subsection B of the resolution of the international Geneva conference of October, 1863]], [[TheMedic Alice]] has to know how to defend herself.

** The enemy [[ShootTheMedicFirst shot at her first]], and the Geneva Convention do entitle combat medics to shoot in self-defense.
