I say something more like med-sin. Ho hum.
And I can't answer 'slough' at all because I use all three, depending on context.

More like med-i-sun for me. And the Slough is a bit iffy, as well. Though I only know it in such usage as "slough off," like a snake skin, or from hearing it pronounced as "slow" on The Office. I'd never heard of the actual place before that :)
