medics
Emergency care providers
Medics are people trained to provide medical care, especially in emergencies or combat situations.
The term most commonly refers to military personnel who treat wounded soldiers on the battlefield, though it extends to civilian emergency medical technicians and paramedics.
In casual use, medics can refer to any medical professionals: The medics arrived within minutes of the accident.
The singular medic often appears as a cry for help in war films and video games.
