Fun fact: When the medic heals the Demoman, (black scottish guy with eyepatch) you can see that he still has his eyepatch on. This is because that, canonically, that eye socket is haunted.
@@STARS048 also there were some robots in the comics that suck blood those robots would get alcholol poisining after sucking his blood and he could easy destroy them
Fun fact: The reason the medigun doesn't heal Demoman's missing eye is because his eye socket is haunted. Medic has attempted to bring the eye back several times, but on Halloween night it grows wings and gains magic powers.
Fun Fact: The Scout (dude with the hat and tank top) has a bird trapped in his body now. If you blow him up in game, there's a chance that you'll see Archimedes fly out of body Edit: Apparently it's not a tank top and it's just a T-shirt with the sleeves rolled up. I played this game for years and I never knew that. That is such a Scout thing to do.
Yes Medic’s medi-gun is a marvel of medicine. Although lore-wise medic is essentially a mad doctor who enjoys experimenting with anyone he can perform on and dealing harm, and no he is not “entirely” defenseless since the medi-gun is not the only thing he has.
@Aquarium Gravel fair but when I see medics rush with the saw they either get gunned down or trick stabbed lol. And when I use the crossbow its like every one of my team seems to walk in front of me when I fire lol
I love how he doesn't even question the spys head in the fridge, or how the medic removed someones skeleton without killing them, it's like he's saying "this is normal"
If you need a doctor to tell you this is impossible I dunno what to tell you! He accepts that it’s basically cartoon logic and gives real life information that the game just hand waves away.
So, I can point out 2 things. 1) the reason the doctor didn't heal the patient's heart (the heavy), wasn't because he couldn't, it was because it was pointless. The entire experiment was to see if the heart of the heavy could withstand being over healed soooo much that it became indestructible. Heart failed, doc had spares, use spare to see if that worked. 2) the one drinking wasn't doing so to numb the pain. He just drinks. He is so drunk that even after a day of no liquor, blood sucking robots got acute alcohol poisoning. I'm pretty sure the demo's BAL is 90 proof
@@Moth-man Well as that was a hallucination brought on by eating solid foods and drinking pure water for the first time in... uh... decades I think. I'm not entirely sure if we should count that as factual.
@@dedotrongames6402 until we get a second confirmation on the demo's body, him saying his bones are fermenting marrow into alcohol is still part of the demo's delusions. We saw heaven twice (sniper, scout), so they confirm each other, and add credibility to the medic in hell, but he also brought a pen back so that by itself would confirm it. What do we have for bone marrow distilleries? Demo dreaming, and Ms Pauling and medic commenting on it being weird that there's enough alcohol in demo to give blood sucking robots alchohol poisoning. We're disputing the dreaming, and the blood robots could just be because demo had a drum of sniper's family brew. Stuff so strong, it melts through the barrel. Who's to say that could be processed in a day? This just boils down to do you think it's funnier that demo's such a drunk that it takes days without alcohol for him to become sober, or he's such a drunk that his body is actively turning part of itself to alchohol.
@@s2wuolf508 I guess that's an option, but then every city, town that can afford this machine they will only need to pay one person to do the doctoring
For me the funniest thing is that Medic tells Heavy that "ribs grow back!" and tells his birds "no they don't", when ribs are one of the only bones that can actually re-grow.
@@cheezkid2689 except it is cannon lore that the medigun can regrow limbs as one of the comics has medic saying that he regrew demos eye several times and it keeps getting possessed by evil spirits so yes he told a half truth the rib did grow back but he didn't know it would
It's awesome seeing you cover the medic! So, some extra context on the medic: In the TF2 comics, it's revealed that the medic actually made a Faustian pact for his medical skills, and so even if something shouldn't work in reality, it does if the medic believes it should, as that mightve been part of the bargain. Take the medigun for example, it might work on the idea of super charging the heart with electricity so it pumps more blood to wounded areas, so it can...have more resources to heal faster I suppose. In reality, it's essentially an implanted defibrillator, but because the medic believes should work another way, it functions the way the medic envisions it. Hope this helped!
And then he figured out how to surgically implant souls into himself so that he can vote himself to go to heaven when he dies, and can even trade some of those souls to the devil so he can come back to life a few times first.
One thing to note about Tf2: the animated shorts take place some time between 1968 and 1970. So Medic's abilities are really advanced, especially for his time!
In TF2 lore, it's probably not that advance and possibly quite normal for Medic's time to have this machine. This is the same world where they invented rocket jumping first before inventing stairs.
Not to mention the fact that the TF2 world has Australium, a fictional thing (I think it's gold??) from Australia that allows Australia to be the world superpower in terms of technology and stuff.
@@Frredster Not gold. Australium. The mysterious transformative mineral that, if utilised to its full potential can unlock various great scientific ambitions, such as prolonging a person's life indefinitely. But, as we all know Saxton spent a good amount of it to paint weapons, and Sniper's dad spent its only known deposit to paint his escape rocket (including the many failed prototypes)
@@riatorex8722 While those did burn up a good amount of the world's Australium supply, it was actually the life extension/anti-aging machines of Redmond Mann, Blutarch Mann, Grey Mann, and the Administrator that used up all the Australium as a fuel source
@@DoctorER Well, Team Fortress is a fast paced shooter, there is no time for propper first aid To be fair, even the medikits from old shooters like doom, quake, half-life - you just have to pick up - would be awesome
3:43 the reason he couldn’t just use the healing ray on the heart is because he wasn’t fixing the heart. He was installing the Uber meter which allows a heart to withstand Uber charge. If you don’t have one of those attached to your heart, then it will explode while you are ubered
From what ive observed the ubercharge makes the heart pump as much blood as possible for heavy's muscles which makes him bullet proof, makes sense why each character in tf2 is required to undergo uber heart operations
@@Yonjuko_Furtilab The medi-gun in this video is a beta version of the quick-fix, which was reworked into ubercharging meaning faster healing instead of the target becoming invulnerable.
Had a buddy who was big into TF2 back in the day. He's also a doctor now. We caught up again after college, and watched these trailers together. He was laughing hysterically on Medic's. He said, "God, 8 years of medical school really puts this one in perspective."
You don't need a full-on medical license. You just need to be a bio major and studied anatomy to know. It does help with more indepth knowledge and hands-on training though.
he was expermenting with the ubercharge and heavy's heart could not withstand the voltage, I know, you know I'm just saying it for people who missed it
Honestly these are pretty boring to watch, he goes "amputation causes bleedings" "oh that's cool" "i wish the healing machine was real" "this guy should not be awake for this kind of procedure" "wow he's bulletproof" "nice" "drinking aliviates pain" like bruh maybe mention archimedes being inside scout, demoman coming from the battlefield with a wheelchair or heavy having a bomb inside on the xrays... I specially hated when med walked into battle and the only comment he made upon seeing demoman coming in was "Where is this? it looks like- battling" And when medic started healing in battle, he says "oh so the gun heals people, nice... it's almost like the healing power you get in a game" describing exactly what's going on and everyone can clearly see instead of providing any actual useful or interesting commentary, like... Come on...
Kind of funny how the doctor did not comment on the fact that the medic did not put on any gloves and went in bare handed during heavy's operation/improvement but did put gloves on when he went outside
Fun Fact : Most of Medic's Mediguns are actually made by himself and not by Mann Co. This specific gun is made from a Blender, The Vaccinator is made a from a Broken Coffee Machine, And Medic's Default [3:56] Medigun is made from an old Firehose, a Can of Scout's _"Bonk!"_ Atomic Punch, and a Jar of Sniper's Jarate. Aside from being a "good" doctor, he's also an amazing inventor. It's no surprise that his best friend is The Engineer with 11 PhDs under his belt.
Fun Fact: Medic canonically made a deal with the ACTUAL, REAL devil to gain the rights to his teammates souls, and then “surgically” implanted them into himself so that he could live for almost as long as he wanted.
Actually, he sold his own soul for some unknown reason, and surgically grafted (presumably) his teammates' souls onto his own so that he could con the Devil by making sure he didn't have majority share over it.
@@somedragonbastard In that same comic (or the next IIRC), Medic clarifies the Fortress 2 team have no souls. He doesn't say how they lost them, but we can assume. None of them *actually* go to heaven, as they're soulless they can't really die. The medic tells the sniper he was hallucinating, but it's also possible that when the soulless die they just imagine up a heaven for themselves.
The Medigun, which is what Medic has, is just a healing ray, to heal your teammates. Once you have healed enough, you can activate “Ubercharge” which makes the targeted teammate and yourself invulnerable for about 8 seconds, which is a massive game changer when faced with a choke point or a stalemate in a match
6:12 well, demo is so used to alcohol that he literally cannot live without it. His blood is filled with it and his liver has been turned into an alcohol distillery. It's explained in the comics and absolute bonkers.
@@thomashaeyen6942 litterally, when he was given normal food, he went into a coma, because he is so fucking alcoholic that he gets all of his needed nutrients from it, and can't digest normal food
interesting that you say that the blunt trauma still applies to bullet resistant armour because the medigun, in the game, works slightly differently as ubercharged players still experience knockback and flinching when fired upon. using high knockback weapons against ubercharged players is a viable strategy.
In the video, that's a prototype Medi Gun, which will be split into two models after it broke down on few tries: the default and the Quick-Fix. The Quick-Fix is the game's epitome of healing, with its primary Overcharge focused on healing and immunity to knockbacks.
@@datkhornedog899 Yep. The Quick Fix was too unreliable with Über as shown in the video, so he created a toned down version for the Quick Fix, and to get the Über to work without killing them most of the time he built the Medigun. It’s probably the most sensical part of the game’s lore.
@@anormalhumanperson7196 Honestly, it might as well be billet proof if the doc is good. I’m pretty sure you can tank well over 1,000 damage during one 2.5 second charge with the Vaccinator tech (chaining Vaccinator charges with crossbow shots between charges). Chain a few charges and they’re basically surviving most of the team firing on them at once. It’s quite impressive.
Each medigun have his field Stock is for breackdown and counter pushes, critzcrieg for pushes, quick fix for countering anything that doesn't one shot, and the vaccinator to lock down areas with your teamate
Demoman is more than being merely a drunkard. His entire metabolism has adjusted to gain all of his nutrients from booze. Even his bone marrow produces alcohol. Once he had solid food & he got quite ill because his stomach thought he'd been poisoned.
I find it funny that you specifically pointed out the Medic staying behind the Heavy, because in game that is only recommended sometimes. While healing, it is a good idea to keep back as the Medic is a primary target for the other team. However, an Ubercharge affects both the target _and_ the Medic delivering it. The Medic has to keep his medigun out to maintain the charge, so he can't attack directly. He can move freely though. This means that the Medic can make an invincible nuisance of himself. This can take the form of obscuring an otherwise open sightline, barricading tight passageways, body-blocking nearby enemies, and drawing fire from the autonomous gun turrets another class can build. Ubercharges don't last very long, so I have seen a lot of tactics to get the absolute most out of each one.
Now we need an engineer to react to “meet the engineer” An actual sniper to react to “meet the sniper” an actual heavy weapons expert to react to “meet the heavy” And so on
Strangely enough it is not without some basis in reality. IIRC humans have extra “tooth buds” probably from an evolutionary period where they needed to replace teeth similar to a shark. However we lost this ability to produce more than the 2 sets (although rare it is not unheard of for people to grow 3 or more partial sets) sometime in our evolutionary journey and the buds no longer ‘activate’ to produce actual teeth. So the Medic could stimulate the buds to regrow Scouts teeth. Oh and ban the Vac!
He's got to be able to feel all the important parts and stuff. He wears the gloves to protect his hands during battle so they can retain their sensitivities during surgeries. Totally Legit. Kinda like Sanji from One Piece doesn't fight with his hands because he needs them pristine and unharmed to be able to cook.
I've seen a few people on the internet posting selfies in full cosplay of the Medic from TF2, saying they were finally graduated in medicine thanks to the love for this game, and Imma be honest, Dr. Ludwig (The medic) is an amazing character and always cracks me up, he's so freaking funny, definitely one of the best characters known in the videogame industry
@@MrRandm-t8g I have a similar situation in real life. I have been an engie main for a long time and this prompted me to go to get an education as a radio engineer at a university. Only a year left and I think I'll take the same selfie in cosplay. :D
the ‘ray of awesomeness’ gun that Medic holds is the Medi-Gun. it basically speeds up the regeneration process of a human being and overclocks it so you can heal in seconds and overheal (i think) gives you some extra layer of tissue that slowly wears off. for the Übercharge (aka the one Medic inserts into Heavy’s heart) basically overclocks the regeneration process to such a level where it doesn’t even look like your hurting them.
The whole heart scene at the beginning was to test if his heart was strong enough to withstand the invincibility that the medic gave him, as you could see, the heart couldn't, so the medic gave him a heart that could
I wonder how he operated on himself because when you Uber someone you also get ubered and no one else in the tf2 universe could have done it maybe med could have teached engi to do it (he's the only merc who's possibly smarter than med himself)
Funnily enough, when medic is holding heavy's heart, the heart monitor is beeping normally, but when the heart explodes, it just flatlines. Also, some of the ingredients for the medi gun's fluid are Jarate, various drugs, a medkit, and human blood
“You’re not supposed to target the medic, it’s sorta messed up” I do that all the time! What are they gonna do, arrest me? Wait what? Geneva Conventions? What is that?
As for why he didn’t use the medi-beam to close up Heavy’s chest in the first place is because Medic wasn’t doing a heart surgery to make sure Heavy was okay, he was doing it to experiment on his heart, which led to Heavy becoming indestructible later on
I love the blunt trauma point. Even medieval warriors wore really thick cushioned armor called gambeson. Your steel or chain armor will keep blades from cutting you, but getting hit with a heavy steel stick still really hurts.
Fun Fact for the Doctor: The Medigun in this short film that the Medic uses is called the “Quick Fix”, a Medigun that heals faster than the Stock Medigun. If I’m correct, after this short, the Quick Fix broke after übering Heavy. It was also revealed before the Über Update. In the beta its Übercharge was known as “Megaheal”, which as it sounds, heals your team much faster by 300%. I think it also prevents knockback as well during the Übercharge. It has a tooltip that says “Level _ Medi Gun Prototype”, therefore it’s technically a prototype from the Stock, which supports why it had the Stock Übercharge. You can also mimic blast jumps from Soldier and Demoman using either the stickies or rocket launcher, or shield charges from Demoknights, and I believe healing Scout allows you to move as fast as him (Medic has the 2nd Fastest base speed. Scout is first.) On its own it has a +40% Heal Rate and +10% Faster Übercharge Increase Rate, but a -50% Overheal. (Which gives your team members a small shield of extra health that slowly drains back to that class' normal full health.) Also, in game, both the healer and patient are Übercharged. In this short film, Medic is not Übercharged, only Heavy.
The Quick-Fix: Medigun prototype, broke after healing Heavy. Provides less overheal and the ubercharge focuses on purely healing instead of invulnerability. The speed boost thing is applied to *all* mediguns btw. Blast jumps and shield charges, along with maybe the thruster from pyro are mimicked.
Pretty sure "That's when I lost my medical licence" implies that he had a medical licence at some point (which means he would have had to go to med school) but lost it due to ethical violations.
So funny thing, the guy who came out at the end with the bird in his chest is called the scout. And after this video if you blew up a scout with explosives sometimes a bird would fly out. It's a very fun game you should try it out! It's free to play.
Also, after the video with the bread teleportation, all characters had a chance to spawn bread when teleporting, with Soldier having a more likely chance to have bread spawn.
"There is not a way to get unalived faster then attack a soldiers medic. What happens if you take a potshots near doc will come up in Genevas next convention. It isn't a war crime if it hasn't happened yet."
@WeonGhost it isn't. What is gonna happen to you will be. That man is the only life line of 15-20 dudes fueled on nothing but redbull, beef jerky and hatred.
7:50 this reminded me of one thing that happened with an aunt of mine some months ago. she accidentally mixed bleach and caustic soda. she got a severe intoxication but luckily she is all good now
Lore-wise, the medic there sold his friends souls to satan and is able to cheat death and his machine can completely revive someone from being blown to bits. in the game though he's a fun character to play as
Technically his friends didnt have souls since medic decided to write their souls in his name so he has 9 souls and the others most likely grew new ones somehow
@@DoctorER great video good sir, I have a request choice, why not look up Red Vs Blue, using watch clips of Doc, the medic of the series, fun guy bad with medical practice, be fun to see how you respond to some of his treatment methods
5:46 it's really funny cause in a competitive setting of TF2, the highest priority target is the medic due to how he keeps the team alive, so the offense on the other team constantly looks to pick the medic off to stop a push or gain advantage
@@NeRo-uwu All of the mercenaries are war criminals going off the Geneva conventions. There's a video out there going down their crimes to see how many years would their sentences be
Dr. Wagner really needs to react to the other mercs. If he found out about Demoman, he'd be perplexed about what goes on in his body. Demoman is a black, Scottish man with one eye (which he lost in a magical accident involving the sorcerer Merasmus) who's known for being a VERY heavy drinker. In the comics, his blood alcohol content is so high he could drink pure Hydrogen Peroxide and not feel anything. His liver has advanced to the point where it provides alcohol, he can ferment his own bone marrow, and his lungs can ferment alcohol. He literally gave blood-sucking robots alcohol poisoning
I have been waiting for this This is amazing Fun fact: when the guys (heavy) hart explode you can see the hartmonitor goes flat and when his new hart goes in it works again
Explanation for reasons like yes: The main character in this episode (characters in team fortress 2 are also called mercenaries, or mercs for short) is called "Medic", and he is German. His first patient is called "Heavy", and he is basically the strongest of the mercs. The heart implant Medic gives Heavy allows Medic to use his ability called "Übercharge", or "Overcharge" if translated. The main weapon Medic uses to heal other mercs is called a "medigun", and he uses it to also use his Übercharge. And Archimedes is Medic's pet bird. I don't think i missed anything major, if i did, other viewers may write it in the answers section for this comment.
Fun fact the Medic's gun is actually a soul collecting device which steals the soul of whoever the ray touches and exchanges it for regeneration that's why the ray comes back in the gun and not just splits after swimming target
my hypothesis of how the Uber charge works in TF2 is that it just heals fast enough that no damage comes to the person who is Uber charged kind of like Wolverine’s Healing factor except like 10 times faster
Actually, it's likely related to the heart since we see he Medic working on the Heavy's heart at the start of the vid. Maybe the weird device boosts the heart and body to become godlike. quick fix uber does fit with your theory though so thats cool
I always thought it was cool how the medic being the way he is in tf2 kind of makes sense of the magical healing in video games. (Not giving a direct explanation, just kind of giving you an idea of how it works instead of just *poof* , they’re magically healed.)
Medic was my favourite TF2 guy back in the day lol. This is cool, I love your Gamology stuff and watch it all the time and I'm happy to see you've brought the same content to your channel 😁
Fun fact: the medi-gun's ability to heal people is actually just a side-effect of whatever it is the medic was trying to accomplish in the first place. Also, he has no qualifications. At all.
considering that the game takes place in 1968, it's amazing how modern it looks considering it was 40 years ago or so. hell, the "should i be awake for this?" line would have fit more during the time when anasthesia wasn't invented.
@@onlookerofthings6029 anasthesia was invented in 1846. :) also, before anasthesia, doctors had developed a culture of dispassion and emotional detachment in order to get through surgery when the patients were in great distress. :)
I bet this guy would love to learn more Medic lore, like how lots of his insane tech causes all kinds of diseases and cancers, how Snipers body rejected some of the animal parts once, etc. Its pretty crazy how medically accurate some of it is considering he brings people back from the dead for fun.
Also he has repeatedly tried to fix demo's eye, but it always turns into a monster every Halloween, so medic just elected to wipe his memory and move on.
