Para-Medic, born June 22, 1936, was a member of FOX in the 1960s. She was a doctor who served as a medical advisor to Naked Snake during the Virtuous Mission and Operation Snake Eater. She told Snake about the different flora and fauna he captured/obtained, which usually ended up with Snake asking how it tastes, a fact that she found quite tiresome and somewhat disgusting after a while. She was also in charge of recording Snake's mission data. After the failure of Virtuous Mission, Para-Medic was threatened to have her medical license revoked if she didn't participate in Operation Snake Eater. However, she claimed that her medical license wasn't important to her, and that she would've helped Snake anyway.
Para-Medic is a total movie fanatic, frequently and enthusiastically talking to Snake about them. She actually convinced Snake to go see several movies that she talked about once his mission was complete, Jason and the Argonauts and the Guns of Navarone among them. Whether or not Snake did go see these movies is doubtful. Para-Medic also has a fascination with Japanese culture. In addition, Para-Medic's obsession with horror movies and vampires led Snake to have a vampire themed nightmare during his imprisonment in the fortress Groznyj Grad, where Snake became a vampire fighting half-breed monster named Guy Savage.
In 1970, Para-Medic went on to establish the nation's first paramedic system in Seattle, Washington.
Later, when Big Boss was captured during the San Heironymo Incident he called Para-Medic to discover what had happened to FOX. She explained it best she could and also advised him to phone SIGINT aswell. Boss phoned her again later in the incident because Boss' new comrade, Roy Campbell had come down with a tropical version of malaria. Later still, Boss phoned her yet again, and she decided it would probably be easier for her to parachute in and help him permenantly. This could be considered as her temporarily joining Big Boss' FOXHOUND Unit.
