Medic is first and foremost, not a doctor despite his team mates addressing him as such. For one, he's been without his medical license for quite some time. Secondly, it'll be very clear to anyone who's ever had the misfortune of having an examination done by him that Medic is only in this medicine business to satisfy his own macabre curiousity about the human body. He doubles as the team's surgeon and yes, medic, but only because such a job places him in the best position to continue his experiments unfettered and unrestrained by any law or code of ethics existant to mankind. Medic is really much a man who's very caught up in his research and all else falls secondary to his scientific pursuits and interests.
At best this makes him quite sloppy and self-absorbed. Medic is really quite slapdash when he goes about his doctor-ly duties. A no gloves approach, one messy laboratory, and all those doves flying everywhere hardly speak for Medic's sense of professionalism and protocol. And he's very well aware that he's violated every single health and occupancy safety standard (and we all know how precious few those were in the 1960s-70s), casually brushing aside Heavy's concern about the lack of anaesthesia in an open heart surgery. He really can't be bothered with all these bothersome minor rules about how to properly conduct a surgery.
At his worse though Medic's lack of empathy, compassion and morals makes him a man who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. He will willingly hunt down and kill his old team mates just to see how well his 'earlier experiments' fair against his latest test subjects, the Team Fortress Classic mercs. Medic will quite happily cut down anyone and plunge his hands into their still living bodies even if it's just for scientific shits and giggles because he honestly doesn't give two hoots about killing people. Human beings are just bodies, blank canvases for him to experiment on and mould.
It's very hard for his team mates to say if he truly has an interest in their survival. There's no doubt that Medic exposes himself to a healthy amount of danger on a daily basis to keep his fellow RED team mates alive. He's the prime target of every BLU out there, the cherry on top of the bloody RED sundae that is just ripe for the picking. But at the same time Medic does prove very fickle to his team mates; one moment he's there trailing his beam on you, the next thing you know you've been blown to smithereens because he's suddenly decided to leave you to a grisly fate. Medic's brilliant but unstable mind makes him a tentative ally at best because at the end of the day he does not have his team mates' best interest at heart. Rather, he might just want their hearts to experiment on. He's also noted to be very impatient with everyone else, yelling and cursing at them to defend the points. Medic can come off as rude and insensitive, both to REDs and BLUs.
What drives Medic is his quest for knowledge and his insatiable curiousity on the human body. Medic loves to test the boundaries, to see how far he can actually push his experiments to the limits set by the natural world and hopefully beyond. He's quite fearless in this regard, though he isn't completely fearless. He still gets scared and screams when set on fire by a Pyro, but he really has quite severe tunnel vision when it comes to matters of science and that does blind him to any danger that he's fallen into. This is the man who had NO IDEA if his ubercharge was going to work, but still charged an army of invading BLU Soldiers with the RED Heavy.
And Medic does have some good qualities. He's determined and very hard-working and contrary to popular opinion, he does want his team mates back in one piece. Medic regards it as a challenge to keep his team mates alive. Some would say that Medic prefers hurting people because he actually enjoys seeing them in pain. That's...mostly true, but he does still patch his fellow REDs up in the end. He likes seeing them in pain because he likes dishing out pain, and also because he likes finding the source of the pain and fixing it. It gives him a sense of accomplishment, just...not because he cares about his team mates, or anything positive like that. He just likes proving his theories on healing and the human body correct.
