Your mediguns provide powerful single-target healing with the added benefit of providing overheals to tank zombie hits. If healing isn't your thing, the syringe guns do very nicely at stalling and holding back hordes of zombies due to their high firing rate. Mediguns come with the ability to ÜberCharge patients upon filling their meter enough. These are very situational but can be somewhat powerful.
