I know Orochimaru isn't the first choice when talking about medical ninja, but let's take a look at his feats in that field:
- Proficiency in creating drugs, pills and medical stuff. Example - pills that keep one in near-death state, etc.
- Extensive knowledge of poisons, can even modify other people bodies' to make them immune to poisons.
- Skills in body modifications - Soft Physique etc.
- DNA manipulation, expert in transplantology.
- Proficiency in cloning.
- An ability to regrow lost limbs and body parts.
- The strongest regeneration abilities in NV.
- Running medical laboratories himself, long before Kabuto was recruited.
- Conducting sinister experiments on turning humans into snakes.
Obviously these are different from the standard Mystical Palm Technique, but does that really mean Orochimaru cannot be called a Medical Ninja? I think he can. And honestly, with his feats, he isn't far behind Tsunade and Kabuto in terms of medical abilities - it's just that his own feats are often overlooked, because he doesn't simply heal other people.
