Official rulings
Upgrade card effects that flip facedown damage cards faceup (such as Boarding Engineers) are not dealing that card to the affected ship, thus Medical Team could not be resolved in that instance.

The effect from Medical Team takes place between when a faceup damage card is revealed from the damage deck and when it is dealt to the ship.

If a faceup damage card is drawn, and that faceup damage card has the Crew trait, if that ship suffering damage is equipped with Medical Team it may discard Medical Team to discard the faceup damage card before it is dealt and resolved.

A damage card chosen by General Dodonnas ability, if it has the Crew trait, may be discarded by Medical Team before it is dealt and resolves its critical effect.

Medical Team cannot discard any damage card with the Crew trait that has already been dealt to a ship. Meaning you cannot choose at a later time to discard Medical Team to discard a card already dealt to a ship.
