ok, but how did he learn medicine if he spent 6 years in a cave? it wont make sense for medic to be the man he is today if he spent 6 years in complete isolation

i think medic was a doctor in the military, he agreed because he enjoyed the gore that comes with war and having an excuse to experiment on people, he was eventually discharged after the german military realised that medic was a psycho that was doing shady stuff with their bodies, but wasnt killed because he did manege to save some lives, he was discharged before the holocaust, and never agreed to the anti-Semitic values of the nazies,

after the war, he got his medical license for being a combat medic that succesfully saved some lives, only to lose it after stealing a mans skeleton without killing him, because stealing is bad.

medic became more infactuated with the human body then ever before because of world war 2

All signs point to that he was likely in ww2 Germany and could have been one of their scientists. He was alive and an adult around when ww2 was happening so he likely experimented on non-consenting test subjects to make his medigun seeing as making a device that can heal any wound would have complications and be dangerous to test on himself and seeing has he has no problems taking out someone’s skeleton while they are alive it wouldn’t be far fetched to presume he did those kinds of experiments.

He also could have fled to America when it looked like Germany was going to loose and becoming apart of Americas nazi scientist department like many others, where he obtained an American medical license which he then lost when he took out someone’s skeleton.

So yes being a psychopath and sociopath he would have no issue joining Nazi Germanys ranks and wouldn’t care if he needed to flee to America and work for their government for the time being.

Edit: to add this is speculation based upon the time frame of tf2 and what he would have mostl likely have done to obtain his medigun.

Simple, he kinda just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ everything and it somehow works. See that part in the comics where he somehow revives the Mercenaries and Miss Pauling by throwing blood in their bodies.

Ok but being serious he got and lost his license before the war. The skeleton incident is what lead to him hiding in the ice cave in the first place.

Yes (i asked mr valve when he decided to expand the lore after i left valve and he told me in private)

medic fled the country during the second world war, hence why he's in the US in 1970.
