Specialist – Accumulate 10000 heal points health in a single life.
Thanks to the on-hud Chief of Staff achievement tracker, I can see that on a good life I'll accumulate ~1.8k-2k healing. My record somehow is 6.7k, but I can't even remember what I did so special on that map (all I know it was CP Egypt; perhaps that server rigged medics in some way).
How would one heal 10k hitpoints in a single life? Overheal many different team members? Uber like there was no tomorrow?
Achievement servers and maps need not apply. I'd rather not earn an achievement than just getting one.

Here's my suggestion, based on the actual circumstances that earned me the Specialist achievement.
Play defense on pl_badwater. Make sure your team has a few competent damage sponges (Heavies, Soldiers, and Demomen) who know how to retreat (you may need to explain that bullets are hazardous to your health).
You want to stay alive. You can facilitate this by always sticking to a buddy. The best buddies to stick to are the ones that hang around sharp corners near narrow corridors:
In these locations, you and your buddy can stay behind cover in the yellow area, and once they are fully healed (to 150%, conditions permitting), they can venture into the red zone for ideal damage exchange along the highlighted lines of sight (where Heavies, Soldiers, and Demomen have a captive audience, so to speak, of the cart's escorts).
Note that the general advice here (be on a good team, play against a bad team, heal everybody) still applies, and that you'll still need classes like Engineers (who can help by putting dispensers near you) to cover your back.
