monster_human_medic_ally - Point Entity

After the resonance cascade, the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit (HECU) marines were sent in as a cleanup crew. Their orders were to eliminate anyone - both aliens and Black Mesa personnel.
This is the friendly version of the human grunts that is only encountered in Half-Life: Opposing Force, considering the player character, Adrian Shepherd, is one of them.

The medic can heal both the player and other friendly grunts. For players, holding the USE key (instead of quickly pressing it to follow) commands the medic to heal the player. (Both monster_human_medic_ally have the same "Head 0 = White" and the same weapon "Weapon 1 = Desert Eagle".)
