The appropriate ratio of medics

team-fortress-2tf2-medic

What is the appropriate ratio of Medics to team size for most non-pro games? I'm fairly sure one medic in twelve players isn't effective.

A straight ratio isn't the best, because there are some classes that the medic doesn't synergize well with (engineer, spy). A better metric would be 1 medic for every 4-5 offensive classes, so 2-3 medics on a 12 person team.
