No they disregarded their training and shot them on sight.

Of fucking course they did when the battle was over.

There's no single answer.
It varies upon time, country, and even unit or combat envorinment.
Typically, a nation's armed forces provides medical assistance to its enemies when it is far more prosperous than its enemy, and often has a larger edge in the conflict. For example, it has been the US's policy on the issue ever since WW1.
When two large nations that are in a very even war and neither side can afford to spare the slightest of resources to do anything that does not directly involve the war, then this shit doesn't happen. Like in the Eastern Front of WW2.

Depended on medic.

I was a medic in Afghanistan. We're considered non combatants but the militants blatantly disregard this. I guess it would depend on the circumstances whether I'd help you, or just help you bleed out.
