Doctor Archive

Hi all. I apologize in advance for the noobness of this question, but I am relatively new to SWG and still don't understand a few things. I got the game the day RotW came out, so I never knew the game pre-CU, but I have been somewhat disappointed with the Medic profession vs. what I thought it would be based on the manual and player guides. Needless to say, my biggest concerns have been the same as everyone else’s, i.e., loss of Wound care for Medics, loss of XP gain in clinics for Docs, and crafting?My original plan was to become a Doc, but now I am not so sure. My question is this;

Is Doc still worth it? More specifically, is being a Doctor stills fun? I don’t mind Combat and I am fine with healing in medcenters without XP gain, but is it better going CM? Also, I have no aspirations to go BE, so is it even worth it to take medical crafting anymore? And what about the buffs?All in all, I want to have a good time. My wife is a dancer, and she is endlessly useful to other people, but I usually seem to be sitting around doing nothing as a medic. Any opinions? Thanks allot.
