medics

A medic is someone who gives medical care or treatment when an emergency happens. This person can work anywhere from hospitals and clinics to disaster zones and even on sports fields.

The word "medic" is often used informally, especially among people involved in first aid or emergency response teams. In everyday life, you might hear it in casual conversations about friends who are trained in basic life support or volunteers at a Red Cross event. Some people also use the term to refer to doctors or nurses they work with on a daily basis, like a friendly way of saying "the doctor" or "nurse".
