>>185 There are also two more mayor differences. The Medic in this fic experimented on his own teammate, and he did it because he wanted to be "recognized for his genius". So he betrayed a person he was supposed to care for, and he did it for his own selfish ends. The Medic in The Dustbowl Horror experimented on an enemy combatant (which is still technically a war crime, but at least it's not a betrayal), and he did it because he wanted to study the camouflage which could benefit RED Spy (and because of scientific curiosity, since the tentacles were unnecessary). So he used a person he was supposed to attack anyway, and he did it (mostly) for his team's sake. The situations are very different IMO. Medic in TDH comes across as likeable to me, whereas Medic in this fic should die a slow and painful and permanent death.
