What does MEDIC mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A doctor, medical student, or a person trained to give emergency medical treatment, especially in the military.
Medic is used broadly for anyone providing hands-on medical care outside a formal clinical title, from a battlefield corpsman treating wounded soldiers to a student still working toward a medical degree. The word emphasizes practical, often urgent, care rather than a specific rank or qualification. In military contexts a medic is frequently the first person to reach an injured soldier.
