The problem I have with Frank and the medic being the same person is the fact that Kiefer Sutherland voiced both medic and Ishmael (not to mention BB)

So what I'm getting at here, is if Ishmael is a figment of snakes imagination due to brain damage/coma etc, then Snake was imagining the character at a point before he actually had a head injury, when Ishmael was the medic on the chopper doing the emergency surgery on Paz.

This could work I suppose if we say that Ground Zeroes itself is nothing but a memory being played in coma, and it gets a little fuzzy during the chopper scene. Where Snake pulls a Tyler Durden and actually performs the stomach surgery himself while imagining up another character (medic)

The whole thing with the three characters being voiced by Sutherland screws with my head. Also take note that the Japanese VA also happens to voice the medic in that version of the game, so any theories about Sutherland filling in for another VA are probably not right.

Also worthy of note, although I'm not sure what it means yet. The medics face is Kiefers face, without doubt. You can see his lower jaw when he's talking about getting the bomb out now. Also you get a profile shot when his face takes the blast from the second bomb. Anyone who has sat through all seasons of 24 will be pretty familiar with that face and know it's him right away.
