I don't know if you can actually pinpoint them as medics -- no red crosses visible anywhere. Might just be helping to bear the burden.

Oops -- sorry, vague view of a red cross arm-band on the M-41 wearer at the left.

I wonder if one of those guys is my uncle. He was a medic and was wounded at the Battle of the Bulge. By the time he recovered, the war was in its final days. He spent the remainder of his time in the ETO as a "tailgunner" on a B-17 that was being used to ferry wounded soldiers from Germany to England. I put "tailgunner" in quotes, because he wasn't trained as a gunner and by March of 1945, there was nothing to shoot at anyhow.
