The medic has recently received a wooden sword for which can now be used to now engage in fights. However, I have found that by the time I decide to go into full combat medic mode and scrolled over to my sword, my weak armour has already given way and I am therefore toast. If we can use the bandage in the off-hand then this allows the switch between healing and attacking much smoother making the new sword a much more viable option.
I have heard through rumour that Tobberz is against this as he wants the medic to not be able to both heal and deal damage at the same time (sorry if you didn't say that). I think this reasoning is not valid as it is virtually impossible to focus on keeping your teammates alive while also hitting your enemies due to both your teammates and enemy players being in different locations (not mentioning the fact that it would require a lot of brain power to focus on the two tasks at once).
That is why I believe that the off-hand bandage will fix the healing-to-combat switching problem whilst also not creating a new problem.
