Well, as for the idea of a medic toting a flamethrower, I suppose I find it a bit ironic due to my idea of a medic type character being a good-natured person that wants to help everyone, while my idea of your typical flamethrower user being the insane pyromaniac type that doesnt just want to kill everything, but instead wants to absolutely eradicate every trace of its existance, though I suppose a flamethrower could fit with a medic that has a really bad obsession with sanitizing everything. The idea of a flamethrower with bio synth being ironic, on the other hand, is due to the name "bio-synth" implying that the ammo somehow heals the user with organic matter from the target, and yet even the very idea of a flamethrower, nevermind a white phosphorous one (which the weapon description describes as making the flames even more intense), would suggest that there would be no organic matter left to heal the user with in the first place. That would also technically apply to all incindiary weapons, as well as possibly the chemical weapons too, since they are described as using highly potent acidic compounds, which I would think, would also destroy any usable organic matter, though I suppose one could argue that perhaps the acid breaks down the target into a sort of "healing goo".
