Team Fortress 2 is Valve's class-based team shooter, first released in 2007, and the Medic is its healing support class. When set on fire in game, the Medic calls out in panic, and that short distress line was lifted by players into soundboards and gaming videos. It spread because the moment is instantly recognisable to anyone who has played the game, while the exaggerated panic also works for viewers who have not. Years later it remains a shorthand for being overwhelmed, burned or caught out in a match.
