As in the title, how does the medic unit heal soldiers by simply beaming at them and what is the (pseudo-)scientific explanation?

@valorum if your edit didnt change the question itself too much it more sounds like a question if what you see ther eon screen is an abbreviation or if ther is really a healing via "beam" in that universe and if so what that beam is there (nanites,...). if the original formulation was the same then I would interpret the question that way and not about real life science.– ThomasMar 14, 2017 at 17:27

1@Thomas - The way it was formulated originally was "is it possible in real life" which isn't acceptable.– ValorumMar 14, 2017 at 17:28

@valorum ah ok then I say +1 to your comment (thought already that you meant pre edit question there with that comment but was not sure as I didnt see the question pre edit)– ThomasMar 14, 2017 at 17:29

This is addressed in the game's tie-in Field Manual. What you've described as a
"beam"
in fact contains 'attenuating lasers' (presumably to cauterise wounds) as well as acting as a transport for 'nano-conveyed anesthetics', 'chemical modifiers' and nanobots capable of 'cellular hyper-repair'.

8yeah in the game medics really just feel like they pump up the marines full of pain killers till they die anyway a short time later– HimarmMar 14, 2017 at 17:44

1@Himarm well the marines do have "stimulant" packs which reduce their lifetime. I always envisioned them basically taking massive drugs.. Mar 14, 2017 at 23:22

@enderland that's literally how it works. They're all expendable, drugged up criminals.– ErikMar 15, 2017 at 8:22

I have actually had surgery that involved a staple gun. It isn't pleasant but it is effective!– GusdorMar 15, 2017 at 8:56
