What if, instead of playing as a soldier in a fps, you play as a military medic? Imagine the creative and gameplay opportunities!
Have you played This War of Mine?
It's a sidescrolling crafting survival game where you play as a civilian in the middle of a civil war.
From my friend's experience, it would be a lot of grabbing unhoused people. He said cops would tell him "you go grab this guy cuz if we do it we have to do paperwork."
This is strange, but I would love a completely unironic game where you play as a medieval plague doctor. Do the thing that Caves of Qud does and have randomized treatments for different ailments, so that you can't use real world knowledge and have to figure things out by hacking haphazardly at cadavers and experimenting on patients (while assuring them that you're the expert and know what you're doing).
Yeah I guess it is. All three characters have different approaches to solving the plague, too - modern medicine, traditional medicine, and magical bullshit.
What if he had his own experimental healing beam and worked in a team with 8 other mercenaries.
Arma (modded) medic gameplay can be pretty fun honestly. Don't think that's quite what you're looking for but being the harmacist is pretty cool
Hell Let Loose has a medic and it's a really fun role to play.

I remember it being terrible, a friend of mine had it.
used to play Planetside 2 with a friend in Red Cross mode, where you play as a combat medic but don't do any combat, while blasting the Casualty theme. It's a good time
Could work as a choose your own adventure type game with QTEs, but would require some really strong writing and interesting characters.
