At first, usually no.... UNLESS... you make yourself known to your outfit or squad that youre an advanced medic... Works for me all the time. I just tell everyone that if you die, let me know and I can patch ya up quicker and get ya back into the acton quicker, than a respawn... And it works... Ya get calls all the time during intense battle, look at the squaddies number, check your map, use your best judgment, usually most the time you can get to them in time and get them back on their feet running.. But being the Field medic, you gotta make the call... Then and there ya gotta decide if they should respawn or wait.. so Communication is key. But the squads have always had an easuer time when I'm around and they express their thanks. Good Times! also, for other people on your faction but not in your squad, if you heal them dsuring battle enough, they get the hint that you're a field medic and are usually willing to wait for ya to revive them. The medical skill is very worth it... every squad should have at least one medic for health, and one engy for armor... as I said before... Good Times!
