There are many ways you can play medic in SAS 4.

- Support Medic

As a support medic you play medic to heal/support your allies in co-op matches. Your builds mainly consist of medkits, revive,biocleanse,and final farewell. Whenever a teammate is in trouble you always go through hell to make sure that they stay alive, even sacrificing yourself for the better good of your team. It is essential your teammates know this so they can protect you can you can protect them. This is how I prefer to play medic, as in most games (outside of SAS4, like Tf2) I play as a dedicated healer/support.

-Side Medic

A side medic is a medic that focuses more on themselves than their teammates, but in a pinch they can help. A side medic doesn't care if a ally or teammate next to them has taken that much damage. Only when an ally is critically near death do they heal. If an ally is dead near them, they will revive them for 1/4 of the timer, then go back to killing. A side medic is like an assault that has the ability to heal and biocleanse, other than that they just act like an assault.

-The Angel of Death

An AOD medic plays medic only to benefit themselves. They only have medkit as an option to support themselves and nobody else. Their builds consist nowhere near teamsupport, only things that help themselves. They always ingnore people who are in critical condition calling out for help or teammates that need a revive. They are usually that one person in the party that rushes forward in a mission, either to get themselves killed (overesimating medkit), or complaining about teammates. You should only ever play this way if you are a troll, the medic class was built to support your teammates (non-medics). By playing this way you are laying waste to the point of the medic.

-Suicide Medics

I don't know how to describe them other than their wierd playstyles. Suicide medics usually act like support medics, except they get themselves killed A LOT. The idea of this type of medic is to be like a medkit fountain, only existing to spam medkits and nothing else. They also usually have final farewell maxed, so that when they die their teammates around them can quickly heal up. When reviving teammates they will remain on the body, even if 5 bloaters are hitting them. They are not too bad at their job, but them dying a lot is a slight annoyance.

Whew. That was a long article. Anyway the point of this article is to show people how you can play medic (and how not to). Medic is  one of the best classes (support wise) if  played correcltly. If not played correctly, your just another spot of the team wasted.
