Especially in conscript units, the medical training of Russian personnel is often lacking, and the dearth of proper individual first aid equipment can stretch the available medics further than their counterparts in other militaries. Combine this with a pervasive problem with blood-borne disease, and you get the Russian medic: overworked, underpaid, and perhaps just the only soldier around who has a modicum of ability in keeping the injured alive.
More competent medical personnel exist in the Russian forces, but their presence at higher echelons often keeps them away from the front lines compared to their counterparts in other militaries.
Players may wish to give a more generous medical specialist status to Russian medics based on their goals in playing Down Range. Those interested in sobering realism may wish note the equipment provided the medic by default.
