As someone who actually played PS1 I want to clarify this blatant misunderstanding you have of how the medic certs worked in PS1. Right off the bat, there's no medic class in PS1, the only medics that exist are those that self-identify as medics.
How it works is there are two certifications that you can pick. The first one gives you access to the medical applicator which allows you to heal teammates AND YOURSELF. The second cert, which requires the first one, allows you to revive fallen teammates.

I have no idea what you are talking about here.
And finally on this topic, at most what you had to give up by picking those certs was a secondary slot and some inventory space for the extra canisters. You could still have the same armor and weapons as everyone else and you did because pretty much everyone was running around with a medical applicator to heal themselves.
I like some of your ideas though. I'm definitely for the idea of allowing medics to work at range. I'm not so keen on "buffs" though, there's a lot of balancing issues there and it seems to much like an RPG element.
