No no no, this isn't another nerf CM's now thread. I am actually defending the profession.
I am a regular pvper and have gone up against many CM's. Now, all you hear about is how overrated they are. Personally, I think that they should be as "powerful" as they are. They are using up as many skill pts as a commando, they should have good fighting skills... they are COMBAT medics. Without the mind poison, all they would have is their group healing. Don't see how that relates to combat very much.
I personally don't have much trouble with CM's. Usually I can kill one before their poison takes me out. Buff your mind and you should be able to also. Use chef food to help reduce the chances or go out with a doctor. I think people just get upset that they can't solo a CM in a pvp so they assume that they are overrated. If anything, CM's are helping out pvping in some ways, influencing others that are not doctors to go out with doctors and make it more of a group activity.
Comments and flames are welcome.

I think its sad that rather than learning to adjust to threats people cry about them.
I'm not a Combat Medic so perhaps I'm just ignorant but it seems to me that Combat Medics have plenty of short fallings. The real threat is in how they are multiclassed, but even that isn't perfect.
There is no perfect character, no perfect attack nor defence.
Several classes need help, perhaps all of them to one degree or another. This doesn't mean one that is working should be reduced to balance it against classes that don't.

Yes, you use as many skill points as commando, but then only 1/5 of yours arefrom combat classes, unlike all of commando's.

And good thing that you only need 0/0/4/0 on Commando to use Flame Single 2.20 points Woolaaa.
Combat Medic is not dabble friendly. Do you comprehend??!!
You can dabble in all other combat profession effectively, but if you want to be a compotent CM you must have both Support tree and Ranged Healing Distance tree and possibly Ranged Healing Speed tree.
Do you comprehend now?
