The problem is that those who are going for master doctor (or master CM) aren't healing in the med centers. These are the ones that would benefit most from healing wounds and staying couped in the med center all day, but instead they are AFK healing AFK tumblers. Once you get to master doctor, why would you stay in the med center? You're going to be out doing missions, hunting with groups, and having fun in other ways.
I too hate tumblers, and have so since they came about. I may not buff their stats, but i certainly never tip them and always /addignore their droning spam. It isa big problem that those going up the medic and doctor professions do it so quickly. The faster the get through the profession, the less time they are in med centers--available to heal those with wounds. Perhaps there should be another type of bonus or incentive for healing in med centers, so that those with masters would continue to provide this service. But until then (or until the HAM system revamp in the CB--which will make tumbling irrelivant), I'm predicting a future decline of available doctors unless tumbling itself is taking out of the game or at least restricted to battle.

I'm so utterly sick and tired of going into a medical center, finding plenty of doctors, and none of them give you the time of day because they're too busy healing someone who's tumbling. Medics and doctors, you have to start doing your job. If the only reason you became a doc was to buff, give up the profession.
Not to sound like a flame, but since when does anyone have a real moral duty and mandatory service to others in a game?

Ah cheers fellas, I just got master doc ( made hundreds of wound paks and just went around tending wounds to work my way up)
Going into a med centre and seeing the tumblers is really sad.
/tiphat to the fella that buffs their quickness, for sure mate that is a good one.
Have to say that the buff liens are a joke I'd much rather be after to go to coro and /tell masterdoc looking for a group to buff and join in their hunt
much more fun fighting with mates then pullin gou the pillow in coro, I havent done it and I refuse, after tending so many wounds and not getting a thankyou
as the awesome fighter stacker whose buffs run out to reveals tremendous wound AND has just made a cool million on the exploiting missions Assumes that im
only healing him for the XP not for the fact that I'm just a Doc trying to help out my mates. "Thanks doc I brought some nice XP, Oh I made a million last buff session heres 10k to buff me again"
For sure mate on your bike no enhance for you.
So to the fella who posted this nonsense Im sure this is the response you were looking for, glad I didn't dissappoint you.
Onyoure bike mate or pay me 100k and then Ill buff you and the pet you rode in on.

you guys have to rember there are like 3 types of docs.
the buff bots who craft or buy there buff packs and then sit in cnet and buff all comers.
ther you have the grinders for one reason or another there goal is to make a specific
level of doc then move to something else and anything that slows that down is in there way.
why heal your woulds for like 100xp when they can heal the tumbler for 400
then you have the real docs, the pride of there profession.
they take very good care of there guild and team/groupmates.
they will get there butts shot off trying to drag you out of harms way.
they will have a hord of extreemly good buffs for there friends(been hit with a 3k buff latly?)
and will often have lower level buffpacks to free buff noobs
they will train others with no questions ask unless some one nearby needs the points.
you have to rember fora full master doc things like xp are a thing of the past it no longer concerns us.
which is a shame by the way.
faction points ha! I have never gotten a single faction point for healing when you fighter types are mowing down the stoorm troopers
like so much grass and your yelling for the doc or medic to toss ya a heal or clear a state and the FP is just rolling in, the doc is getting nothing.
when your guild doc goes on the hunts or raids with you, think about it, what does he really get from the trip.
almost no loot,maybe a share of the looted credit that may end up with enough to pay for the shuttle ride and cloning.
there is really no means for the group to protect there docsso ingroup we face all the same dangers and with much less armor and much less combat defence butwe're the ones sneeking back into the night sister cave to rez and heal the half of the group that did not make it out. with no one to do the same for us if we should fall. (been there done that)
yet we suffer the samedecay to our lesser armor.
I once herd some one complane that they were tired of paying 10k for 2300 point buffs and were voting for a buff nerf and i was thinking that if he screems about 10k 2300 point buff lines then he will prob be really screeming about 10k 500 point buff lines.
I like to count myself among those who play a Doctor the way they're supposed to be played, not as a money maker or stepping stone to something else. I enjoy going on hunting trips with my PA and they've never been asked topay for one of my buffs. I can take care of myself in a scrap, PvE or PvP, and enjoy healing those around me.
While I do feel somewhat shortchanged, as I spend a lot of time, money and resources to do this,with little material reward, I've hung onto Doc for over a year simply because I enjoy healing others. Taking a strong combat prof in addition to Doctor resolves just about any issue of not getting your share of loot on a hunt. Just ask my guildies who one of the better tanks in the PA is, besidesthe ever-present def-stackers, who are mostly playing on Bloodfin these days.
