I've noticed if I stab a dead body I get a funny buss sound. If no sound at all the body is either "stuck" and alive or "stuck" and dead. But if people really care about being revived they should scream out in desperation through mumble, or if a medic is out of reach use the right-click to put yourself on the map for the medic to see. A good medic that is'nt busy will then come to your aid.
But pleeeease.... don't cry for a medic if you know a sniper shot you unless if it has been dealt with or at-least warn the approaching medic.

Don't sit there spamming mumble for a medic if it is obvious he is around and is in a firefight, the most annoying thing is when you have a dead guy repeating "medic" the exact same way over and over while you're trying to clear a path for the revive.

Ask the medic directly, and if he doesn't respond right away ask again but be sure to actually engage in a conversation with the medic near you. If you're just sitting there mumble spamming medic I know a lot of people will just leave you there for being annoying as hell.

the "scream out in desperation through mumble" was for the ones that do it the theatrical way which is kinda funny, but I agree that if 1 person focus all his attention spamming mumble when you already responded to him is annoying. Almost as annoying as a wounded person checking out the buttons on your vest when they are getting healed instead of covering outwards, I never understood that attitude, like if they are afraid I'm gonna run away if they look the other way. On occasions I stop healing though and pull out my gun if alone and the one I revive look at me in a strange way :D

Yes. In my experience, too many people do that.

It annoys me and sometimes overwhelms me. Be patient, for someone's sake...

Would it be possible to program the game so that if you ran up to a body and pressed the "use" button that you'd get a message saying something like "You check for a pulse...he's still alive." Or "You check for a pulse...but it's too late." Maybe you could also check enemy bodies too, then you could get an idea about how long ago a firefight went down.
