Yes, they're known as Para Rescue, although the context is a bit different from what an Army combat medic would be.
Yes they do and they do almost all jobs that males do. EG field medics
Combat medics in Iraq faced significant risks while providing critical medical care on the battlefield. While exact casualty figures for medics are less frequently reported, they experienced injuries and fatalities due to enemy fire and explosive devices. The demanding nature of their role often placed them in harm's way, as they worked to save the lives of wounded soldiers under dangerous conditions. The sacrifices made by combat medics highlight their vital role in military operations.
Yes the can, some non medic soldiers also get training on starting iv's by going through the combat life savers course. Since the reorganisation of Army MOS structure circa 2001 - 2002, the MOS of Combat Medic has been greatly expanded, and also covers a lot of personnel who previously wouldn't have been classed as combat medics under the old structure (91B was the MOS for a Combat Medic previously - now it's 68W). With the reorganisation, new requirements were put in place for Combat Medics, one of which was that a Combat Medic should hold a basic EMT licence (national registry).
Women have held various roles in the military which varied depending on where they were as well as the era. Women have been nurses, medics, secretaries, pilots, and have also engaged in combat.
This depends on your definition of 'doctor.' Field medics, be it Red Cross or corp men, fought and jumped into battle along side the troops. Actual doctors were back in set up hospitals behind the lines.AnswerAccording to information available, The Fallschirmjaeger used medics much in the same manner the US Paratroopers did. They jumped into combat along side the troops, but were armed as well. So to directly answer your question, they were with in shouting distance from the troops. Further, there is no apparent information that would lead us to believe that the medics were actually "doctors" per say, but that they were truly medics. I have included a link below to another WikiAnswers question that addresses what the Fallschirmjaeger medic carried into battle in the "related links"

No - Navy personnel fill that role.

There are only two services that have "medics," the US Army and US Air Force. Medical personnel of this type in the Navy are referred to as Corpsmen. There are no medic MOS's in the US Marines. Of all combat medical personnel of enlisted ranks, US Army Ranger medics, and those who serve as US Navy SEALs and USAF Para Rescue are perhaps the most comprehensively trained. Although, all Medics and Corpsmen are heroes in their own right.
There are a number of types of 'medics' there are emergency response medics, combat medics and first aiders, who all need different kinds of training. Each are involved in different fields of aid and have their own specialties.
