miraculous medical reversal

An event which doctors have consensually denied possible because A) they have never seen it, B) they don't know how to make it happen, and C) it does not fit within the narrow guidelines of their practice, which are in place to keep patients where they are.

The patient had been diagnosed with Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis, told that she would never walk again, classed as "non-ambulatory" for insurance purposes, issued a steel leg brace and a motorized scooter. Dutifully, she did not walk, or try to, for two decades. With the help of someone who believed that a miraculous medical reversal was possible, the day came when she walked into her neurologist's office on her own feet, without the scooter, without the leg brace. Her doctor responded with total refusal of acknowledgement. His practice, after all, was described as "maintenance", not cure, and what the hell was this.

Medic Main

A rare variety of TF2 player who spends the most time playing the Medic class, whether out of necessity or voluntarily.

Medic mains are either very kind, very chill or a whiny dunce who blames all of their deaths on their teammates. A Medic Main is not to be confused with a Medic Girlfriend, though the two aren't mutually exclusive.

Medic main: Hey guys can we get a pyro to spycheck?
*Medic main dies to a spy once again*
Medic main: *incoherent mic spam*

Heavy-Medic

Commonly referred to in Team Fortress 2, the Heavy-Medic is a heavy that is constantly being healed by a medic, usually behind them. Possibly being übercharged in the process which poses a great disadvantage to the opposing team. This is due to his powerful minigun and his significantly high health when being healed.

I'm being dominated by a Heavy-Medic!

There's a Heavy-Medic in the base!

Medical treatments

You fucking hear this guy? This is why I don't believe rich people are particularly intelligent.

Hym "He says 'medical treatments shouldn't not be based on feelings' and he says it in relationship to trannies. Ok... ALL NON-WOUND MEDICAL TREATMENT... Is predicated on 'feeling.' Your internal state is deviating from (either) your previous internal state OR the base-line internal state of the average person. It's all predicated on a self-reported non-concordance between yourself and one of those two internal states. And BEYOND THAT... ALL PSYCHOLOGICAL TREATMENT... Is predicated on 'feelings.' The entire practice. (Unless (of course) your one of the online therapy hacks downstream of Jordan Peterson, in which case, you just aren't treated and are just told to replace your current source of dopamine with things they would subjectively rather see people do). So no. He's retarded. That's a retarded thing to think. That thought can only exist within a retarded mind. This is what I mean when I say these people a solipsistic. They do not accept the legitimacy of the internal beings of other people."
