    Medic has the common connotation of emergency medic, also called corpsman in the military.

      Odd thing to nitpick, but since we ARE nitpicking; medics might be referred to as corpsman in the US military. Other countries with militaries have them too. We just call them medics.

      There’s a whole world outside of the USA.

        They’re only corpsmen in the Navy. In the other branches they’re medics, except the Marines which don’t have any (they borrow corpsmen from the Navy).

      It can do, but that’s no basis on which to say “they weren’t a medic”. You can correctly call a physician a medic.
