A mediwizard is the wizarding equivalent of a medic/paramedic. They respond to emergencies in a hospital or the field. They will also attend events, which includes sporting events like the Quidditch World Cup, in case there are injuries.[1]
Overview[]
They are a trained magical medic who will provide immediate, emergency treatment in the hospital or the field.[1]
History[]
During the final of the 422nd Quidditch World Cup, trained mediwizards waited on the sidelines in case of an accident. They tended to Aidan Lynch, the Irish Seeker, after he was tricked by Viktor Krum with the Wronski Feint and ploughed into the pitch. After being given cups of potion, Lynch got back up and returned to the game.[1]
Also during the final, a mediwizard helped the referee break free of a trance he was put under by veela. He had his fingers stuffed in his own ears while he kicked the referee hard in the shins. At the end of the game, both Lynch and Bulgarian Seeker Krum were injured. Mediwizards blasted their way through fighting veela and leprechauns to reach Krum. He was surly and refused to let them help clean up his bloodied face.[1]
