A "Whiskey" or "Whiskeys" is one (as in 68W - the MOS ID for Army medics) "Doc" is probably the most common.

Simple answer: Yes. The German army in WWII regarded medics much the same as Americans did medics and navy corpsmen. Medics in the German army wore armlets with a red cross on a white background, were generally unarmed and were considered protected under the Geneva Conventions.
A few do not. Most do.
When the medics tell you you should.
I'm pretty sure. i know medics do.
Yes. Army medics are treating civilians in Haiti, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc, and may be called upon in a crisis to do the same in the US, such as in New Orleans. Additionally, many military medics may get their EMT-P qualification, and work additionally as paramedics in the civil sector, or as paramedics in the EMS for their post.
It used to be reserved solely for actual Combat Medics, with the MOS of 91B. However, with the Army reorganisation, 91B was folded into the 68W MOS (Healthcare Specialist), which is no longer limited to actual line medics. Anyone with the 68W MOS is elegible for the EFMB (and CMB). Technically, anyone with any MOS can go through the testing, but they cannot wear it without the 68 series MOS.
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.
